Get Out the Vote: AIGA Style

Whether you are gung ho for a particular candidate or can’t wait for Election Day to come and go… the AIGA’s Get Out the Vote project may provide a little extra motivation to, well, get out and vote.


Cast Your Vote by Steven Liska

AIGA, originally known as the American Institute of Graphic Arts, is over a century old and provides professional support, networking possibilities and financial and creative guidance to artists who make a living in graphic design.  Plus AIGA promotes the importance of good design.

Since 1998, their Design for Democracy efforts have helped localities to
design and test ballots;

develop better outreach materials for voters;
and create resources for election officials.
AIGA also sponsors a national, nonpartisan Get Out the Vote poster exhibition.
