The poster appears to use vintage paper, scraps, and elements of collage to promote the future/ upcoming event 'Sightseeing Spring, '85'; a title placed at the top, middle, and bottom of the poster. On ripped scraps of black paper are Willi Smith, as designer, and other behind-the-scenes individuals of this event are displayed within two curved collums. In various diagonal positions, a collum of small illustrative imagery, each representing one of five global or cultural influences: L.A., Metropolis, Country Club, Sugar Cane, and Punch and Judy. Willi Smith's name and his company name Williwear are layered four times on the imagery of the poster.
