The poster's dimensions are 75.1 centimeters x 94.5 centimeters or 29.5 inches x 37 1/8 inches.
The top of the poster reads, "Parsons Senior Illustration Show 2023. March 13 - April 5 (Reception: March 21)." The middle part of the poster depicts various cartoon monster-like figures in blue, red, green, orange, and salmon.
