Today on Read Between the Leading Aaron and I got a chance to interview Scott Thomas, Design Director of the Obama campaign. We got to talk to him about his work on the campaign and his new book Designing Obama. You can listen here or get the podcast on iTunes.

If you haven’t checked out Read Between the Leading before, it’s a design podcast I co-host with a friend. We try to have interesting guests on to discuss a wide variety of design related topics.

Scott Thomas, The Design Director of the Obama campaign, is raising funds for a book called “Designing Obama”. The book chronicles art from Obama’s historic campaign. Some of the artists featured include Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Chuck Anderson, David Carson,  Derek Hess, Scott Hansen, and a ton more. It also features a foreword by Michael Bierut and Steven Heller. The project is currently being funded through Kickstarter and has raised $51,000 of the $65,000 that they need with just 17 days to go.

For a pledge of $10 you will receive a digital copy. For a pledge of $50 you’ll get a hard copy. I’d really love to see this book get made. Hopefully you do too so digg it, reblog it, tweet it, and pledge.
