Some sources I have already discovered surrounding these topic areas are listed below:
- Art For Obama: Designing Manifest Hope and the Campaign for Change
- Obey: Supply & Demand: the art of Shepard Fairey
- The rise and fall of the poster, street talk
- Art and Agenda: Political art and activism

When creating my practical work for this question, the 2016 American election will be my first point of call. In a similar way to that of Shepard, I will create a range of political posters targeting a specific demographic profile. I will experiment with multiple art techniques and may even follow the design of Shepard himself. In order to assist me with this task I will gather research surrounding the voting demographics within America, each presidents manifesto, and art surrounding previous political campaigns. I will experiment with many techniques, including some that have not yet been high profile within political campaigns. As I currently have family friends within America, I will ask them their response on the subject matter and may even get them to express my work to others, asking them for specific feedback upon the designs. I hope for my work to be completed before the 25th of March, as this is before Americas general election.
