The poster consists of several layers with contrasting colors and images. The dominant colors are red, blue, black, and white. In the upper part, a red stripe element is placed diagonally, crossing the poster. Below it, a gray rectangular shape with a line of text is visible. In the central part, white printed text is placed on a red background, and below it, another line of text is on a dark blue background. In the background, a black-and-white cityscape with buildings and towers is visible, appearing blurred and graphically expressive. In the lower part, a large crowd of people is depicted, also in black and white and graphically blurred. At the bottom of the poster, a white text field is placed diagonally on a gray background. All lines of text are arranged at various angles and use different font sizes and weights.
