Graphic vertical poster of the moon. The large, round black and white photograph of the moon fills the center of the poster, showing the varied textures of the moon's surface. The round highlighted craters and irregular dark grey plains contrast with the flat, deep blue background. At the top margin, cut off by the edge of the page, is a yellow semicircle with narrow blue text: 'The Moon'. At the bottom margin, a horizontal yellow line spans the page, with a small white text block below.
