Annual History of Graphic Design & American Democracy Project Poster Competition
First Place Poster: “Go Ahead, Take a Piece”: Contemporary *INTERACTIVE POSTER
“Boys will be boys.”
It is that mentality that allows for dehumanizing comments towards women to go unpunished. Women are worth more than their bodies and the value they offer sexually. Relationships can only remain healthy with mutual respect; this includes all genders and sexualities. The young individuals who provided these quotes deserve better treatment than what they were given. More so, the young girls who lived through these interactions deserve more than the grooming tactics used to violate them. It is time for a change in the way young women are treated. It is time for boys to grow up and for men to start acting like men. Once all of the pieces are stripped away, a shocking fact appears (left photo). * Each piece of paper making up the dress (photos on right) have statements said to girls such as: "If you loved me you would..." "You're just a tease." "You're only good for sex." People are encouraged to remove a strip that contains a statement they have heard or said. The backs contain two websites to seek help: one for those who have heard the comments and one for those who have said those comments.

“Best Voting Concept Poster” Award: Super Poll Party: Post Modern
Playing an active role in our country’s democracy should not be seen as a chore, but instead a celebration of our freedom to vote. Election day should be as big, if not bigger, than the Super Bowl. It should be recognized as a national holiday. Get excited, get informed, cast your vote, and then enjoy the day with friends. It’s a Super Poll party after all!
