    Get Out the Vote

    AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign invites designers to create nonpartisan posters and videos that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote in the 2012 general election.

    Get Out the Vote, an AIGA Design for Democracy initiative, enables designers to engage in the public arena by contributing to a coordinated voter mobilization campaign. By motivating eligible citizens to register and turn out on election day, Get Out the Vote fulfills an ongoing AIGA objective of demonstrating the value of design to the public, public officials and business by providing a clear call to action for an activity that is important to everyone.

    • Value Your Voice.
      St. Louis

      It's important to remember that everyone has a say, but the only way to get your opinion heard and have it matter is to actually take a stand and vote.  

    • AIGA Get out the Vote 2012
      New York, Upstate

      The video shows how some people do not care to vote, because they believe their vote doesn't matter. Even though some people do not vote, they certainly have opinions on political subjects. Because they have opinions, they need to vote, otherwise their opinions would not be heard where it counts.

    • Speak
      Richmond

       Voting is speaking up.

    • The Voting Brawl
      Kansas City

      I wanted to use personification to portray the iconic animals from each political party in a vintage boxing poster environment. This poster depicts a humorous brawl between the animals and is eye catching with the main points expressed through hierarchy in type.

    • I voted.
      St. Louis

      In many countries, a finger dipped in dark, often purple ink, is a dual icon. It stands for the integrity of a democracy free of voter fraud, and is an outward symbol of the pride inside those who can freely say "I voted."

    • Dare to make an impact
      Boston

      Don't just sit back and have others decide for you. Dare to make an impact yourself.  Get out and vote.

    • Don't Let Your Voice Fade
      Pittsburgh

       Typographical poster encouraging voters to not let their opinions fade out and go unheard.
