A collage-styled poster advertises for Pomarańczowa Alternatywa (Orange Alternative) in Wrocław. Different elements are layered to form the collage. The base layer appears to be walls with either peeling paint or spray paint. Three photos are position askewed and arranged in a zig-zag manner. One photo is in the upper left corner, another is at center and to the right. The lowest one is in the lower left corner. Cut-out blocks of text and a map form the top layer. A small street map of Wrocław sits at center. A path around the city is drawn on the map in red; "x" presumably indicate start and end points. "Pomarańczowa Alternatywa" is separated into 2 separate blocks of sans-serif text. "Pomarańczowa" is in the upper right corner and "Alternatywa" is in the lower right corner. "Wrocław" is in bold serif text and is situated above and to the right of the map. Photos included in the poster document the Rewolucja Krasnoludków (Revolution of Dwarfs) happening on June 1, 1988.
