29 Reasons to Vote

Justin Ahrens · 2008 · Offset lithograph · 4-color process on Sappi

A sprawling, hand-illustrated map of the United States bursting with 29 reasons to care about democracy. Every square inch is packed with icons of American life, from 'For Sale' signs and picket fences to the bald eagle clutching the Constitution, from 'Pro Life' and 'Pro Choice' placards to the Homeland Security seal and a space shuttle. At the center, bold block letters spell VOTE, anchoring the visual cacophony of competing ideologies, symbols, and cultural touchstones into a single call to action. The yellow field gives the whole composition the warmth of a vintage broadside. Created for 29reasons2vote.com, Rule29's initiative encouraging civic participation through design, and printed by O'Neil Printing on Sappi paper.
