Polish Poster School vs Psychedelic
ポーランド・ポスター派 / サイケデリック
Polish Poster School comes from Regional Graphics and Psychedelic from Counterculture. Both are read here as style. They are reached for with some of the same intent, which is where they get confused.
Polish Poster School
Rather than explain a film or a play, it turns the assignment into a psychological image built from painting, metaphor and hand-drawn letters.

Melts contour and color until reality itself starts to sway.
| Polish Poster School | Psychedelic | |
|---|---|---|
| Era | 1950s–1980s | 1960s–1970s |
| Family | Regional Graphics | Counterculture |
| Kind | Style | Style |
| Cues | Symbolic metaphor / Hand-drawn lettering / Rough paint surface / One strong image | Swirling curves / Complementary colors / Melting letters / Kaleidoscope patterns |
| Best used for | Promoting a film or a play through one metaphor instead of its plot · Series for a theatre or a festival, each sheet drawn differently by hand | Deepening immersion in music and experience · Festivity that escapes the everyday |
| Type | Draw the title by hand in the same stroke as the image | Lettering that warps like liquid |
| Composition | One strong image near the center with nothing competing around it | Radiate from the center; fill the margins |
| Material | Rough brush and ink surface, few colors, tears and bleed left in | Saturated color, waves, repeating pattern |
| Caution | Leaning on star faces or film stills kills the metaphor, and roughening the surface alone leaves decoration with nothing behind it. | Hostile to long text and critical controls. Reserve places for the eye to rest. |
