I thought all of them were horrible. I thought Kucinich's was acceptable if a little boring.

Gephardt's looks like it was designed by a seven year old girl with a bunch of magnets, I had to think who the heck the candidate was, not a good tactic.

I despise the Kerry one, I think the comparison was kind of tasteless. This is big considering I'm not a huge Kennedy fan and am rarely offended by things.

Dean's was just weird, it looked like a screwed up table cloth and has the same problem as Gephard's it's hard to take in quickly. You have to squint to see the candidate and there's little info, although thats true of most of the posters.

I don't like Lieberman but I think he might have had the best one. The silhouette and name at bottom makes it immediately clear who it is and the tag line is a good description. The wavy things may look "groovy" but it also kind of looks like he's bleeding from the head. Still I think it's the best over all work.

I was dissapointed with Sharpton's because I thought he had so much to work with. He has nothing to loose and is probably the coolest of all the candidates but the poster looks like a traditional stuffy old white guy poster. The tag line "No Strings" is a good message but I think there could be a better one. He's had so many good lines choose one of them.

You cannot sell Wesley Clark like he's a mac. He's not a mac, he doesn't identify with that kind of marketing. He's not even a computer, he's an abacus. He'll get things done, it won't be flashy but it'll be reliable and won't lie to you. I'm not trying to knock him here, I just think the poster doesn't fit Clark at all. Also, why yellow? He's a presidential candidate, red white and blue works for a reason, yellow reminds me of piss and bananas.

I like minimalism but I don't think it has a place in presidential politics. Edwards' poster is interesting but really not what I would have done. I liked that they put the web address at the bottom I think all the candidates should have done this. "Elect him. He will." that's not a slogan, it's barely literate. Edwards' is probably the most attractive (physically) of the candidates, put him on his poster.

I may have to agree with the original poster, Moseley Braun's poster is probably the best (sorry Lieberman, but you're not getting the nom anyway...). It's clear who the candidate is, what their name is and there's a message even with no words. She's different, if you want change, change like you've never seen before, well then damn, elect her.

This seems largely like a lesson in what not to do for most of the candidates.

Jeez, it seems like if you want to do something right you have to let me do it.... ;P
