Prompt
For your poster, use an A3 or A4 canvas with a bold but simple background—either a dark blue gradient (symbolising democracy) or a bright yellow-orange gradient (to grab attention). You can add a subtle paper texture or light diagonal stripes for a professional touch. At the top centre, place the main heading in big, bold, all-caps text: “YOUR FUTURE, YOUR VOTE” using Montserrat Extra Bold or League Spartan in white or yellow for contrast. Below it, the subheading should say “Support lowering the voting age to 16 – Because young voices matter!” in Poppins Bold or Open Sans, using white or light blue for readability. In the centre or slightly off-centre, include an eye-catching image, such as a teenager casting a vote into a ballot box, a subtle Australian flag in the background, or a group of diverse teenagers smiling and raising their hands. You can find these in Canva by searching for “voting” or “democracy” in the Pro Elements, or upload an image and overlay a semi-transparent Australian Parliament House. Below the image, highlight three key reasons using bullet points with icons: ✅ 16-year-olds work, pay taxes, and contribute – They deserve a say! ✅ Science proves they can make informed decisions – It’s time for change! ✅ More youth engagement = A stronger democracy! Use an icon for each reason—a tax document for paying taxes, a brain for cognitive ability, and a group of people voting for engagement. At the bottom, include a strong call to action in large, bold text: “Vote YES to a fairer democracy! Support lowering the voting age to 16.” using Oswald Bold or Bebas Neue in bright yellow or red for contrast. For extra impact, add a gradient glow effect on the main text, shadows on images, and a countdown element like “Decision Week: Make Your Voice Heard!”. You can also include social media icons in the bottom left corner with #VoteAt16. Before printing, ensure the text is large and readable from a distance, stick to 3-4 colours, and balance white space to avoid clutter.
