It’s almost election time, and that means lots of cool, free, printable posters by professional designers!

AIGA (the professional organization for designers) sponsored an awesome contest where members created and submitted VOTE posters. While the organization picked 24 winners, I had tons of fun going through all the posters to find which ones I liked best.

The one above is a winner in my heart. So funny, and true. So true, that when I posted it in my cubicle a coworker became so obsessed that she printed out about 10 tabloid sized AIGA posters, envisioning specific ones being plastered everywhere from the kitchen to the men’s bathroom. Success!

Anyway, the poster was created by Rob Alexander, who works at visitoffice.com, a design agency which I’ve just come to discovered does work for the McSweeney’s-related Pirate Supply Store (you know, the store that supports those kids’ writing centers).

Who wouldn’t want a bottle of Captain Blackbeard’s Dye and Scurvy BeGone Capsules? (I am actually totally in love with this stuff. You can shop for it here.)

I digress.

Back to the vote posters. (All of the ones below are free except for VOTE! by Obey. We don’t blame them, it’s a high-quality print!)

  1. 4 Reasons Why You Should Vote by Katie Mangano. You can see why I love this. (Graphs.)
  2. Spec Your Color by Kenneth Peters. This is a great one for designers.
  3. VOTE by Bart Crosby. TRUE.
  4. VOTE by Shepherd Fairey. I believe this is a sold-out screenprint. It was $50. Maybe you can make it your desktop background.
  5. Church/STATE: Don’t Vote by BPN (from thingsarefine.org) (via crapwelike)
  6. Antarctica: Farewell Tour (Don’t Vote) by BPN (from thingsarefine.org)

So, go to AIGA, checkout the posters, and download your favorites. Print them at work on tabloid paper. Post them everywhere. A BONUS Palin-related poster, after the jump!

Even if you’re voting for McCain, you cannot deny that Palin actually walks around with her foot in her mouth. I just discovered Not Another C Student! on notcot.org. The site offers FREE downloadable posters, stickers, and iron-on T-shirt transfers (or you can buy ‘em) with quotes from the likes of Palin & GWB.
