AIGA’s Get Out the Vote project 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.
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.
All posters are available as PDFs in the Get Out the Vote virtual gallery [link] for you to browse and share with friends. Print out your favorite posters and hang them around your neighborhood to help Get Out the Vote!
