Redesigning the (US) Government

Graphic designer Ali Felski presents a couple of redesign proposals for US government websites, now that Barack Obama is the new President, which provides a good timing to re-think a lot of stuff.

It's true that the websites Felski mentions do indeed need an overhaul, as both look totally coming straight out of 1999. It's also true that this Presidency seems to be taking the Internet very seriously, a trend which already started during Obama's campaign and is extending into his spell at the White House. Recovery.gov is a perfect example and I wouldn't be surprised if the two sites mentioned in Felski's article would also get a face lift real soon.

Don't even get me started on Portuguese government-related websites... it's been worse before, though.
