Michigan Theater
603 E. Liberty Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104
Richard Saul Wurman (born 1935 in Philadelphia) is an American
architect and graphic designer. He is considered a pioneer in the
practice of making information understandable. He has written and
designed over 80 books and created the TED conferences. In 1976 he
coined the phrase information architect out of his reaction to a
society that daily creates massive amounts of information, but with
little care or order. He created the popular ACCESS travel guide books
which were innovative in their use of mapping content by neighborhood.
Simple, but effective use of colored text allowed the reader to quickly
separate, locate and evaluate restaurants, museums, parks, and other
categorical destinations. The design concept was based on how we seek
information, in this case, by location. With this series of books,
Wurman firmly established the purpose of information architecture. He
is also a 2004 AIGA Medalist.

AIGA|ONU Student Chapter Motivates Campus Community To Vote
Get Out the Vote, a national AIGA Design for Democracy initiative since the 2000 election,
enables designers to engage in the public arena by contributing to a
coordinated voter mobilization campaign. The 2008 poster campaign
builds on the efforts made in 2004,
when participants created more than 50,000 AIGA posters that were
displayed in public places in communities across the nation and made
available as online PDFs for anyone to download, print and post
independently.
The Ohio Northern student chapter of AIGA invited student designers from the department of art & design to create nonpartisan posters. The goal was to inspire the ONU student body to participate in the electoral process and vote for a presidential candidate in the 2008 general election.
A poster exhibit is now on display in the Elzay Gallery Lobby (until Nov. 5). Out of the nine submitted posters, two were selected for campus distribution.
By motivating eligible citizens to register and turn out on election day, Get Out the Vote fulfills an ongoing AIGA objective of demonstrating the value of design to the public, public officials and business by providing a clear call to action for an activity that is important to everyone.
For questions related to ONU's Get Out the Vote campaign, please contact the department of art & design. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/27428308@N04/ to see more posters.
