New Obama poster campaign design

I'm sure most of you have already seen the Obama poster that Shepard Fairey designed a few months ago that sold out with proceeds going towards the Obama presidential campaign. A few weeks ago I read up on some exciting news via the "blog world" that one of my favorite graphic designers Scott Hansen aka iso50 was asked by the Obama campaign to design the next campaign poster. I patiently yet, anxiously at the same time waited for weeks, checking his blog everyday. Finally it came out! There are a limited run of 5,000 copies that are available for purchase for $70. You can buy them here. Hansen gave some information on the design process stating that the size of the file for this poster was 2.77GB! and nearly 1000 layers, weighing in as the most complex poster he has designed. I'm sure my computer would have exploded. Though it may not look that complex, it surely is. You can view both of the Obama "Progress" posters below.
