Few events in recent memory have captivated the world's attention like that of Barack Obama's historic presidential campaign. Not only did it sir passionate political momentum, but it also inspired the creative talents of a world of artists, illustrators, and graphic designers.Fairey's iconic ?Hope" portrait became the face of the campaign, and more than ever before, graphic design became a central theme for winning the race.Comprised of collages, paintings, photo composites, prints, and computer-generated pieces, Manifest Hope showcases the well-known images of the campaign as well as less famous, but equally creative, pieces from around the globe. This is a volume for all design and art aficionados, as well as supporters of the 44th President of the U.S. who want a keepsake as uncommon as his extraordinary campaign.

In 2006, Scott Thomas began a design collective called The Post Family. The group, devoted to supporting each others design habits, from silk screen to letterpress, from illustration to blogging, is an effort to "get back to the hand." In 2007, Scott's career took a dramatic leap when he was invited to join the New Media team at Obama for America. The chance encounter led Scott to becoming the Design Director of the historic Obama Presidential campaign.
