“The Obama campaign, was the first to fully integrate web and print design as a whole for more consistency. The process was an ongoing work and as he explain: “We were truly making an airplane while on flight.” The website changed a lot since the first launch, but they really needed to get it up and running. It was in constant evolution. During this campaign, it was very important to deliver a clear and consice message and keep sending the message of hope. The team gave the feeling like Obama was already President.”
