not everyone in Atherton uses cut and paste to create campaign materials...

Watch Dog has been critical of some political candidates and elected officials for their use of essentially the same design for their campaign materials. This was covered extensively in Cut and Paste Politics Volume I and Volume II.

At that time, Watch Dog asked the questions:
  • Is there only one graphic designer in Atherton?
  • In such a fancy-schmancy town, doesn't anyone have access to a computer with software from the past decade that can produce something more advanced?
The answer is, apparently, yes there is more than one graphic designer and yes, there is updated software from this decade. The proof, candidates Elizabeth Lewis and David Henig. Their logos are different than the Dobbie/McKeithen/Moore Triad -- and their mailers are designed on computers rather than typewriters. (Hint to Triad: Use different fonts, vary colors...)
