In the white space at the bottom left is vertical red text that reads "art & design/Joy Marcus 1996 & 1999".

Poster shows abstract explosions of shades of red and yellow at the top, on a yellow/white background. Bottom half of poster has a quote from Nelson Mandela's 1994 Inaugural: "our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. we ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant gorgeous, talented, fabulous? actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of God. your playing small does not serve the world. there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. it is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." The quote and colors are surroundede by a red border, leaving .75 inches of white space on the sides, 1 inch of white space at the top and 1.425 inches of white space at the bottom.
