Effective poster campaigns through effective designs

These are two very different examples of what I think was a very good use of design in posters. The first one was designed for the Obama campaign and I think it is truly effective in the sense that it almost shows different colors of people as well and how they can evolve to become ONE as people and that is really a large aspect of Obama becoming the first mixed or black president. He is trying to help other people change for the best and I think that through this simple design it says it all.
In this poster, i just think that it is a good campaign to put on a poster in general. But, besides that the way the design was made, showing people almost "revolting" for reading and screaming the words READ in English and Spanish was an effective way to show the importance of reading. Readvolution was my favorite part because it was a good twist on the posters purpose!
