For this project, we were required to create a non-polarized poster and Instagram post for AIGA’s Get Out The Vote campaign. I wanted to try using more physical media in my design, so for this project I hand-made a cross stitch of the word “vote.” I chose this medium because it was an idea I’d been holding onto for a while and I thought it would work well for this project because it offers a subtle nod to women’s suffrage with a traditionally feminine craft. I then scanned the fabric and used Photoshop to tweak the colors and textures a little until I was satisfied with them. This poster was also selected to be in Missouri State University’s Spring 2025 Juried Exhibition at Carolla Arts Exhibition Center where it won the
Best Graphic Design Award.
