Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable. # Cautions carried from each entry # - Iranian Poster: Piling metaphor on until every clue to the subject is gone leaves a sheet that never tells anyone what the event is. # - Polish Poster School: Leaning on star faces or film stills kills the metaphor, and roughening the surface alone leaves decoration with nothing behind it. # Design specs: https://indexstyle.org/styles/iranian-poster/design.md · https://indexstyle.org/styles/polish-poster/design.md
