Following the model of the poster campaign initiated with the 2000 presidential campaign, AIGA chapters across the country designed 32 posters included in an online gallery on the AIGA website. The purpose of the campaign is to encourage voter turnout, to motivate people to register and to turn out to vote.
This year, any AIGA member may contribute his or her own poster to the online gallery at www.aiga.org/getoutthevote. The visuals and the text of the message must be nonpartisan-AIGA is supporting the basic democratic premise of citizen participation, not a partisan position on candidates or issues. More than 150 posters have been contributed by members to date. View the posters, print them out and post them!
