Redesigning USA.gov

In a great post, noted designer Andy Rutledge imagines what the USA.gov website will look like after being redesigned by an Obama administration: USA.gov Redux.

For the purposes of this redux exercise, let’s imagine that Barack Obama has won the White House. In keeping with the theme of change that saturates Senator Obama’s campaign, let’s examine the necessary changes that should be brought to the USA.gov website. As with other website redux candidates, the USA.gov website requires design changes in order to improve its function and clarity. But in keeping with the assumed context of our exercise, the site will also require copious content and directional changes.

Do not fear these changes! Like other similar socialist leaders and thinkers before him—Marx, Lenin, De Leon, Debs, Trotsky, Chavez, and others—Obama seeks to destroy only the most successful among us. You, as a member of the honorable and patriotic middle-class, will only benefit from these changes so that all Americans can enter the middle-class and all equally receive entitlement from our benevolent Socialist government.
