On the Trail

While most of the class was over at the Ottoson on Friday, the rest of us checked out the campaign trail. A few things that might interest you:

• The New York Time's multimedia presentation of the most recent Democratic debate was stunning, with links to each topic and a fascinating word analysis feature.
  
• A cartoon analysis of campaign logos from the Times had us wondering, "How much time do these political pundits have, anyway?"
  
• For comparison, another analysis of presidential campaign fonts published in the Boston Globe: Is a serif ever really just a serif?
  
• I found a link to the "Tour of Hope" logo that I told the class about. If you weren't in class on Friday, take a look at the logo on the right before you read the analysis; see if you can guess what the ruckus was about.

Have a great weekend! Check back soon for some more info on the speech project.
