			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every once in a while I poke around <a href="http://kickstarter.com">Kickstarter</a> looking for cool projects. It&#8217;s inspiring and an interesting model for supporting a project or cause. Not to mention, pretty much anything that <a href="http://waxy.org">Andy Baio</a> gets behind is going to be cool. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen a few cool projects go here or there that I was intrigued by, but I haven&#8217;t necessarily felt compelled to contribute &#8211; until today. There is a really good batch of project proposals vying for support and I finally gave in to one of them: <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/simplescott/designing-obama">Designing Obama</a>.</p>
<p>The proposal is this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;The Design Director of the Obama campaign, Scott Thomas, has collaborated with artists and designers to create Designing Obama, a chronicle of the art and design from the historic campaign. Get the inside story on how design was used by the campaign, and scope out the pieces, created unofficially, by grassroots supporters.</p>
<p>The 360-page book is full-color and hardbound, highly crafted with an embossed sleeve&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m a bit of a design geek and I can&#8217;t wait to get my hands on this book! Fellow design geeks and Obama supporters alike should definitely help Scott Thomas reach his goal. He&#8217;s 3/4 of the way there! And while you&#8217;re at it check out the other Kickstarter projects &#8211; there&#8217;s something for everyone!</p>
