If you read his so called manifesto from his work at RISD, he tries to fight against capitalism and commercialism-now he has a clothing line, stickers, zines, and he's trying to make a buck off of the President of the US... FAKE. Shepard Fairey is a total sell out.

Why awarding Shepard Fairey? Re-read the argument: Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum said: “The Obama poster is a reminder of how extensively the design world impacts our everyday life. The poster has become an international emblem of recent history; (...).” Can any other design on the short-listed work claim to be an "international emblem of recent history" It is excellent to recognize this historic moment within the design field!

Re-read the argument:

Can any other design on the short-listed work claim to be an “international emblem of recent history”

It is excellent to recognize this historic moment within the design field!
