I am a first-year student at Ithaca College studying Cinema and Photography. I’ve been designing posters for a few years now and I love the fact that we can use art to send a message to people. Posters may look really simple on the outside but they have so much meaning behind them. My design is about lowering the voting age and I wanted to emphasize three particular reasons why we should be changing the age to 16. It seems as if the values of our nation support lowing the voting age, and yet we haven’t done it.
