PSP, 1971
Designer: George Noordanus

During the elections in 1971 there was a lot of commotion about this poster. The Pacifistic Socialist Party (PSP) pleaded for international disarming with this poster.
ARP, 1925
The Dutch Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) was one of the first parties to present their candidate so prominent, here Hendrikus Colijn. The message was: The Netherlands shouldn't worry with Colijn taking control.
1930s
During the period 1933 - 1945 there where no political campaigns, only propaganda for the Nazis. This poster pleads for a 'yes' in a referendum.

Workshop for Dutch and German students visual communication
13 - 17 April 2009
The link between government and design is often made by one of the most direct political manifestations within our democratic system; the election poster. The election poster addresses citizens directly and encourages them to take action and use their right to vote. Considering the extraordinary and ongoing technological and digital developments around us, we may reasonably wonder whether today the election poster is still an appropriate tool to communicate information to citizens. Because of the seeming success of the various, mainly digital communication tools successfully applied during Barack Obama’s election campaign, future political campaigns might look entirely different from now on.
An international workshop dedicated to the shape of future election campaigns will be organised in Den Haag from 13 to 17 April 2009. Students participating in this workshop will, inter alia, take on the challenge of developing concepts for the future political campaigns. In doing so they will concentrate on three political parties: a left-wing party, a party operating on the right of the political spectrum and one ‘centrist’ party. The teachers who will be guiding the workshop are Sybren Kuiper (Syb, Den Haag) and Richard van der Laken (Designpolitie, Amsterdam).
Debate 'Political campaigns'
In the context of the workshop, a debate is organized about the role of the designer in public space. Read here more about the debate.
Presentation
The results will be shown in an exhibition during Design and Government 2010.
Workshop participants
The students are divided in six teams to gain more ideas per political party.
