The first project from our Communication Design Juniors for Fall 2020. We partnered with Studentvote.org, a group that believes that young people's full participation in the political process is essential to a truly representative, vibrant democracy. Each student designed a compelling public message campaign to help educate, motivate, and empower young people worldwide to register and vote. Their work will move and inspire you.
