In 2008 I was approached by members of the Diversity Team at Heartland Community College seeking a poster design for a week of panel presentations on the topics of politics and elections. That committee required an 11x17 inch poster design to advertise these presentations events.

With the catch phrase "Politics in NOT a Spectator Sport" as my starting place I decided to include the dueling football helmets into the design as the main focal point. I found the appropriate football helmet using my iStock Photo account, downloaded and modified the image in Adobe Photoshop to include the Democrat and Republican political party logos placed onto the helmet. The helmets also had the appropriate colors applied to them. I also designed the pinback button graphic showing the Election Day text in Photoshop as a 3-dimensional looking button graphic. Then in Adobe Illustrator I brought those graphic assets into the layout and chose the typefaces, colors and additional graphic elements. The finished design was then printed in color and distributed throughout the campus. The Diversity Week event presentation in the Fall 2008 were well attended throughout that week on campus.
