Elections du Conseil Local des Jeunes à Blanc-Mesnil
This project “Elections conseil local des jeunes” in Blanc-mesnil focuses on the visual communication created for the local council elections. The objective was to design a poster campaign that speaks directly to younger generations and encourages civic participation through a contemporary visual language.
The central composition is built around a youthful character placed at the core of the design. This figure acts as a symbolic entry point, representing the voice and presence of young citizens within the democratic process.
Around this central character, several visual elements structure the narrative of the poster. Architectural references recall the urban environment of Le Blanc-Mesnil, situating the electoral process within its real social and geographic context.
A megaphone is integrated as a symbol of speech, public expression, and collective voice. It reflects the idea that participation in local elections is also a form of communication and visibility within the community.
Speech bubbles are used to represent dialogue, discussion, and exchange of ideas. They underline the importance of debate in shaping local democratic decisions and highlight the participatory dimension of the election.
A sneaker element introduces a reference to youth culture and everyday urban life. It anchors the project in a contemporary visual vocabulary that is accessible and identifiable to younger audiences.
The overall composition combines these elements into a structured graphic system, reinforcing clarity while maintaining a dynamic street-art-inspired aesthetic. The visual identity is designed to be both informative and engaging, bridging institutional communication and urban graphic expression.
The project aims to translate civic information into a visual form that is not distant or abstract, but directly connected to the daily environment and cultural references of the local population.
By using a layered composition and strong symbolic elements, the poster becomes more than a communication tool. It functions as a visual invitation to participate in local democratic life.
