Description
Project VOTE was designed by Lora Miki for the History of Art Students' Association (HASA) at the University of Toronto. In light of the 2019 Canadian Federal Election, this project strove to remind able citizens and students to exercise their democratic right, responsibility, and privilege to vote.
Compositionally, this project is largely inspired by Robert Indiana's iconic 1970's LOVE sculpture and its numerous spin-offs including the 1987 AIDS logo designed by General Idea and Indiana's most recent HOPE image created in support of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
The use of primary colours directly references HASA's logo and simultaneously pays homage to the vibrant colours of Pop Art.
