In an article on HuffingtonPost Michael Shaw explains his perceived difference between Shepard Fairey’s original Obama poster, and Tennyson’s “Snob” Obama poster on MichelleMalkin.com.
“#1: Shepard Fairey’s original Obama poster. #2: The reformulated version on wingnut Michelle Malkin’s blog, riffing on the Clinton attack.”
Its meticulously-spaced three lines of copy are a direct hit at Obama’s signature both in terms of copywriting style (”CHANGE / We can believe in”) and his extensive use of the Gotham typeface. On the surface, the parody works–Obama looks arrogant with an upturned chin, and the O in “SNOB” mimics his recurring logo, reiterated over and over with his message of HOPE.
