Romney, Obama, and the Economy
posted:
Election season is in full swing, a see-saw and 'bump' battle, ultimately resting on a few undecided voters in several key states. The dominant, opening agenda in the first Presidential debate was the Economy. Romney showed some spark after being on the ropes for the past month or two. Obama didn't counter with an effective argument, looking tired and listless. Advantage Romney. Return to the see-saw status.
In the weeks and months (and years) leading up to the big vote, I have been working with art director Minh Uong on a series of illustrations for the Economic View column of the weekend New York Times. I took a look back at them and most of the topics hold relevance today, affecting the policies in play and the decisions that will have to be made by the winning candidate.
There have been some rather weighty topics in the mix. Sometimes this can present an obvious visual solution, other times it takes a more nuanced approach, with a lot of back-and-forth, discussions over the phone and numerous tries to find the right balance. Minh is always great to work with.
