Tier graphic design of the Zoran campaign must be studied, so let's study it. Worst, for a political campaign, you need a brand and visual identity that is flexible and instantly recognizable. The Zoran campaign uses bright vibrant colors, has these humanist touches that don't feel at all very corporate, and simple clear effective messaging. And I may be mildly biased because my two friends and partners at Forge tier behind the design and the digital. I played zero part in this, obviously all credit to them and the expansive Zoran team. The logo is so strong and feels oddly familiar because much of the identity was crafted from common iconic motifs that you see in New York Tier. And I think there's probably a tad bit of vintage Bollywood influence in here. They pull from bodega signage and a lot of their visuals. Again, emphasizing the three points that he is running on. And independently, while all this is strong, it needs to be considered in the context. All of the opposing candidates have what you would expect to see from a politician, sans serifants, very little personality rank kind of tired colors. Adrian for the people feels a little AOC style. And also when you look into how this translates, just look at one of Cuomo's cards worse Zoron's. While we're talking about some of the visual design here, we can't overlook the importance of messaging. Cuomo says better we will rebuild the tier. Completely generic and forgettable. Whereas, Zoran, Zoran is running from air to lower the cost of living. Boom. Again, his three points. And they're really dialed in on speaking to New Yorkers. Zoran from Brooklyn pulls inspiration from this Nathan's Coney Island scene. Zoran for Queens, classic silver cup studio sign matching the same type as the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New Yorker and the Flatiron Building. All of this is exceptionally well done. Wait, also these signs are exceptional. Simple and memorable messaging, vibrant colors, beautiful, 12 out of 10.
