American election VOTE posters.

I found this treasure trove of voting posters for the US election. A design company called AIGA invited designers to take a part in their campaign of creating posters that would inspire and encourage people to vote. Because so many Americans just don't bother (not that it matters, most votes don't count. Only certain states' votes really count). There are hundreds of entries on the site, and I trawled through them all, picking out my favourites to post on here.

The above poster was created by Mary Meiners to highlight all of the excuses that people use as to why they didn't vote. It's very interesting to look at and aesthetically pleasing. All that jumbled up text just makes me want to lean in and work out what all of them say.


This poster was created by Zach Norman with the phrase 'Use your voice'.
Unfortunately, this one has been removed from the sight and so I can't tell you who the designer is. It's one of my favourites though.

This design was sent in by Scott Brucato with the phrase 'Thing about it'.

Emily Green designed this one to spread the message that 'we need a leader that understands all of our needs and that the environment is one of them.'

This has since been removed from the sight and I really can't remember who designed this, I love it though. Picking out the letters in a brighter colour to draw attention to them is a sure way to bring the eye in and grab attention.

This one was designed by Will Ecke, and I think that this is one of my favourites. It's very simple, and the way that the two animal representatives have been combined to create a heart is excellent and aesthetically pleasing.

The site where all of the other designs are is here.
