The Democratic National Convention probably won't be using the iconic power fist on its posters for the event in Charlotte next year, but the planners shouldn't flat-out reject such an image. After all, they've consistently touted the event as "the people's convention." Let's hold them to it.
You can help do that by designing a DNC poster. The convention's Executive Director Dan Murrey announced today that he's looking for a few good creative types to come up with something that represents "the people." Get your creative juices flowing: the deadline for the project is midnight on Dec. 31, 2011.
From Murrey:
Calling all artists, designers, and other creatives! We want YOU to be the designer behind one of the 2012 Democratic National Convention's Official posters.
Here's what you have to do — create an original 18 x 24" poster using the 2012 Democratic National Convention official logo and incorporating and interpreting one (or more) of the following themes:1). Americans coming together
2). Building a better future
3). Opportunity and EmpowermentTo register, download the logo, get more details, and to read the official rules, check out our website at www.charlottein2012.com/postercontest

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Dr. Dan Murrey
