Help Huffington Post Design Campaign Posters

By Jake on November 16,2007

The Huffington Post asked ad man Rich Silverstein for ideas on how to help Democrats frame the presidential election , he came up with campaign posters. Now you can add to the design.

But hurry, the new design will be posted on HuffPo site next week.

The result is three powerful posters that simply but graphically capture the lunacy of the modern GOP. "Here is my thinking," Silverstein told me, "What if we could TiVo the last six-plus years and play them back - without comment -- for the American people, and let them connect the dots? It's not a pretty picture." Silverstein's take away message is uncluttered and direct: "Haven't we had enough? Democrats '08."

You can check out the posters by clicking on the images below. But looking at the posters is just the first step. Consider them rough drafts. And we want you to help with the rewrites by adding to the names, events, and slogans depicted in the posters. Simply post your suggestions in the comments section below (labeling them "Names," "Events," or "Slogans"). Rich and his designers will take the best and include them in updated versions of the posters, which we will put up on HuffPost after Thanksgiving.

Ideally, says Rich, the final versions might be three feet long. Given the outrages of the last six-plus years, even that might not be long enough.

So look at the posters and send us your suggestions below.
