research i used

Mostly the Excel sheets related to 18-24 males and the reasons they didnt vote, but also (not all are the best of sources but for a social level of understanding they helped):

Out of those 4 posters I think the one with color and the one with only 2 pie charts is the most successful. These are my finals i guess




these are the 2nd round of posters. I can't decide between the first poster which similar to what I had in class.

My past with voting

Some how last week i read over this part of the assignment so its going up late, but either way for me this is the first time I will be voting. Originally I have never cared enough to vote mainly because I felt that my vote wouldn't really make a difference, and also because I never have really followed politics...even when I was suppose to for certain classes like AP Gov. But with good old Bush's contributions to the US as our president I have come to realize how my vote is an integral part in electing some one that has some sort of brain, and isn't on a power trip. This is my main reason for picking 18-24 year-old males as my demographic.

In the past voting campaigns like Vote or Die and Rock the vote have failed, or at least I think they have, and I am hoping that this project will succeed in communicating to varying audience that they need to vote
