The design of campaign posters is important, but in the grand scheme of what the elections represent, the importance is quite small. What I have noticed over my time living in Ireland for over 20 years is the lack of design in the creation of policies.  Now what I mean by design is the User Centre approach to problem solving. So for example if we are creating a policy are we as Politicians involving the user in the creation of these policies?
