I apologize if there are rules against such 'political' posts, but I was interested in getting some other views of this particular graphic from the NYT:

Some people on another forum I read seem to think the 'analysis' is incontrovertable and things you learn in 'Graphic Design 101'. I think you could basically interpret it any way you wanted.

I think that whoever did this is a staunch Bush supporter and that if the two designs were reversed they would come to the same conclusions.

I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.

very interseting critque, sounds simliar to what was said in my gd type classes from a couple years back, but nothing can seem objective in this race for some reason it feels this crit is bush biased, not that I have any problem with that, in general I dont like campaign posters

Graphic Design Heroes! Call me Captain Type Caster. I’ve fought off “The Evil Cosmic Sans” for year but it seems “Dr. Extreme Untalent” keeps bringing him back. I must find a way to defeat this evil creature.

Capt. Creative bring me those comps…

I actually think it's a rather brilliant satire on the absurd lengths ti which people will go to bash either candidate, but that's just me.

Definitely a satire, but a fairly clever one. Touché, to the Bushy designer!
