Denim Day April 28 Wear Your Denim and Show Support

Dear Clarkson Community,
Please join us in supporting sexual violence prevention on Denim Day, April 28, 2021.

BackgroundThe Denim Day campaign was originally created due to a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because it was believed that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. 

Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of the need for prevention and education about sexual violence. The day itself is a time for activities dispelling misconceptions and educating people about sexual violence and its prevention.

Support Denim Day-Wear denim! Make a social statement with your fashion statement. Wear jeans with a purpose. Staff are allowed to participate.-Share your denim jeans or pin on social media and use #CUinDenim

The poster is designed to promote the "CUGSA Executive Board Elections 2024" and is visually engaging, using a color palette of deep green, yellow, and hints of red. The top section of the poster features a deep green background with bold, white text that reads "CUGSA EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS 2024" and below this, "VOTE NOW" alongside a QR code for easy access to voting information or the voting site. The middle section of the poster marks the election dates, "MAY 2-3, 2024," prominently displayed against a bright yellow background that contrasts with the green above. The bottom part of the poster is particularly lively and illustrative. It features a large, red ballot box labeled "VOTE" on its side. There are two animated characters interacting with the ballot box. The first character, a man, is standing on top of the box and speaking into a megaphone, symbolizing active participation or rallying for votes. The second character, a woman, is next to the ballot box, holding up a ballot paper as if she is about to drop it into the box, representing the act of voting. The background includes simplistic representations of clouds and stars, adding a playful element to the scene. The poster is finished with the logo of the Clarkson University Graduate Student Association (CUGSA) at the bottom, anchoring the poster with a sense of official endorsement and identity. This design effectively communicates the essential information about the election while encouraging active participation through its vibrant and dynamic visuals.
