Unlock Change in 2024
This is my poster submission to AIGA’s 2024 “Get out the Vote” campaign. The core of the campaign is an online gallery of original, nonpartisan and apolitical (without political content or bias) posters generated by AIGA members.
I was inspired by the belief that everyone’s voice and vote is key to unlocking change. At the polls, we have the potential to initiate positive and meaningful shifts in our society through the votes we cast. It takes all of us to open the way.
