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.

Design for Democracy applies design tools to increase civic participation by making interactions between the U.S. government and its citizens clear.

Since 2000, Design for Democracy's ballot and election design project has worked to make voting easier and more accurate for all U.S. citizens.

There are three general types or client/designer relationships: boss/worker, friends and partners. All three types have their place, but only one of them offers the potential for truly great design to emerge.

AIGA maintains its position against speculative work while recognizing that the decision on whether to take the risks of speculative work is up to individual designers.
