Gotham: Barack Obama’s favorite font

Posted on December 28th, 2009 by admin

Can the right font make the difference in a media-driven election? Barack Obama’s campaign is increasingly using the font Gotham for their “Change We Can Believe In” banners and other material. In this outtake from Gary Hustwit’s 2007 documentary “Helvetica”, type designers Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones discuss the creation of Gotham. The font was originally commissioned for GQ Magazine, and the list of qualities they were looking for then sounds surprisingly Obama-esque now. http://www.helveticafilm.com/blog

YouTube Campaign for Burma – Free Aung San Suu Kyi and Other Political Prisoners

Posted on December 16th, 2009 by admin

Hello YouTubers and Friends,

I am starting a YouTube campaign for Burma, freedom of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi ( http://www.dassk.org ) and other political prisoners in Burma.

Burmese pro democracy leader, the Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, has completed 13 years of house arrest by the Burmese military junta and is still under house arrest, and allowed no contact with the outside world. Additional thousands of monks, and students have been imprisoned for their peaceful calls for democracy recently.

This week, there is an arising hope for their release, and I really need you all to stand with them.

Here, I made this 4 minutes video to call the world to help. As the global economy down turns, Burma’s leaders are more vulnerable to international pressure. We are trying to get 888,888 signatures from people, and send them to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon to make this a top priority.

Please sing the petition here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/free_burma_political_prisoners

Over 160 Burma exile and solidarity groups in 24 countries are participating in the campaign. We need you and your friends, and your friends’ friends to participate in the campaign. Please make a Burma awareness video and ask your friends to sing the petition.

Lastly, many thanks to my country girl, a singer and original song writer, Mary Win, for writing this beautiful music, Suddenly and giving me a permission to use: www.youtube.com/marywinmusic

I also like to acknowledge U2 for the song “Walk On” written and sung for Aung San Suu Kyi.

Gersing
