The 17th annual \u201cLet Your Voice Be Heard\u201d Poster Competition is a place for students in the History of Graphic Design class to submit their political posters focused on civic engagement. Each student designs five posters across various styles, including civic engagement, but not limited to implying global, national, or social issues. After the final product is finished, students mount them and create a display in the art building’s atrium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FHSU students are encouraged to vote on which poster is their favorite. Voting is open and closes on Friday. The winners will be announced Monday where a ceremony will take place to celebrate the winners and one will receive a scholarship from FHSU Civic Learning and Engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monti Diaz is an international student from Costa Rica. Since coming to the U.S., she has discovered many problems and issues in the world. When asked about her inspiration for these posters, she said, “One of my personal things is that experience I had before, and I see a lot of issues in the world. So it was nice to share that with people so that other people can find this as an issue.”

Graphic design students watched a documentary called God and Country before they started their creations to broaden their minds. After watching the documentary, Jaden Stauffer started to understand things that weren’t clear to him. “My biggest inspiration was when we watched a documentary called God and Country and that exposed me to a lot of things that I didn’t really understand, so as a Christian, I saw it very uncomfortable to see a lot of what they were showing so I wanted to use the concept I learned in that documentary,” Stauffer said.

Hannah Kitzmann is someone who likes to keep political things to herself, but she decided to get out of her comfort zone and create what she truly believed in. “The hardest things about this project would be, first to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I’m not a very political person but you keep those things important to you deep down and this as an artist is almost an responsibility and duty to share those ideas,” said Kitzmann.

Each student applied ten different styles to their posters that went into many revisions and group efforts to create the image they wanted to portray.
