Tuesday’s US presidential election will be decided in about a dozen battleground states between Democrat Barack Obama ahead of Republican rival John McCain. But today, I’m not going to talk about the election..

Just think of how can graphic designers best support a politicians?

There’s one community of creative designers, Design for Obama has organize a collection of creative poster design for Obama’s election campaign through a website which supported by Design Observer. Designforobama.org was first created by Aaron Perry-Zucker, a senior studying graphic design at the Rhode Island School of Design, and was built by Adam Meyer, a senior studying industrial design at said school.

Let’s take a look of 20 of the most brilliant election poster campaign..

Marta by Andrzej Dragan, Poland.

Andrzej shot has been awarded as the overall winner for last year’s competition, the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2007. Andrzej also won the 1st Place in Portraits category.. who will be the overall winner for this year contest.

Marta applied to a modelling agency and was rejected. Andrzej then saw her test photos by chance just a few months later and that’s how Marta became interested in being photographed. The photograph is interesting – not because of the fright it triggers, but because of a collision of two Martas. Thankfully Marta has now undergone treatment for her anorexia and is progressing well.

Shot taken with Canon 1Ds MkII with Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens, ISO 50, single flash with a large softbox.
