Description	America is the land of the free but we must not take that for granted. If we all get out and vote for what we believe in then we can preserve our land and freedom. For my design, I wanted to encompass that thought and to represent American soil. I used a quote from Elmer Davis, a well known reporter from the 1940's-50's. I created the word "VOTE" out of blades of grass that were set in soil. I took a photograph from above and implemented it into my poster.

Confessions of an Undercover Innie

Article by Andy EpsteinApril 29, 2013

As in-house designers, we often become immersed in our companies, causing us to lose perspective on our assignments and, more insidiously, on appropriate behaviors and ethics. Learn to identify if you’ve fallen prey to “brand blindness” and adopted the company culture wholesale, and use your creativity to improve the culture instead.
