Not getting into politics here, I love what you did in the center, I HATE what you did to the edges. I know part of it is the poor image posted quality. audacity of hope - Google Image Search may want to try and do something a little more similar to the original as far as text.
I like the idea, but the rest of the label doesn't really fit. Hope you don't mind, but I played around with your label a little bit to be more consistent with Shepard Fairey's style.
Right on. My buddy and I put that one together in an hour or so over a few 22's of Racer 5. It looks like you are pretty decent at design. My friend chris is a painting major at LSU. But he is not a graphic designer--I am an English major. My friend Andrew went to Yale for his master's in GD. I tried to get him to do it for me but he is incredibly busy. Did you take any classes or are you self taught?
p.s. I contacted rogue, I don't really like their beer I wanted a rogue type bottle design. I told them they should brew this IPA and call it the same name. Only mine is the OG, well FG . I want labels so we can drink them in style on inauguration day. I figure after that will be sufficient aging. If anyone is down, I'd like to work on a newer version of it to brew the day after inauguration--like a democratic thing. I want it as bitter as the economy.
I like both of 'em, and Obama, but the second is a really nice image. Matter of fact, nice touch with ingredients and all. Inspired me to do the same. Nothing audacious about it at all!
