Political Design
Speaking of politics....
The Museum of the City of New York has an interesting exhibition going on right now about political campaigns and the materials used to get those dudes elected. Sure, it focuses on New York in particular, but what happens here in terms of both politics and design has always been instructive for the rest of the world as well.
Here's a description from the Museum's website:
Campaigning for President: New York and the American Election
From the time that it hosted the first presidential inauguration in 1789, New York City has always played a pivotal role in national politics. Campaigning for President: New York and the American Election explores the effects of New York on the strategies of presidential electoral campaigns for over 200 years and highlights the role of New York candidates, third parties, powerbrokers, and voters in the race for president. The exhibition features rarely seen, provocative, and often humorous campaign memorabilia from the collections of the Museum of Democracy, including a commemorative coat button from George Washington’s inauguration, a James Garfield oil lamp, A "Robert Kennedy for President" paper dress, and an original copy of the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline. Presented in collaboration with the Museum of Democracy.

This just in...
The Cannes Lions 2008 Festival handed out design awards this week and Turner Duckworth snagged the "first ever Design Grand Prix" for their work on the Coke brand visual identity. David Turner said that they had "set out to help re-establish Coke as a design leader." The firm also won a Gold Lion for the bottle pictured here:

1000 Music Graphics Launch Party
The party to celebrate the launch of 1000 Music Graphics (Rockport Publishers) in Boston last week (to coincide with the HOW Design Conference), went off without a hitch. Author Clif Stoltze of Stoltze Design, was the bell of the ball as he graciously hosted his guests.
More than 150 people attended including John Bielenberg, founder of Project M; Steven Gordon Jr., of RDQLUS; Robynne Raye and Michael Strassburger of Modern Dog; Terry Marks of tmarks design; John Foster of Fuszion, and many, many more.
The live music was phenomenal and all had a good time. The book is phenomenal, too—check it out. Congrats Clif!
