The top edge of the poster has text in small blue font: " 'In our country people are rarely imprisoned for their ideas...because we're already imprisoned by our ideas' - F. Garvey". The top of the poster has a highly stylized drawing of a figure with head tilted back in apparent distress and something attached to its head / neck. The background of the drawing has abstract patches of color and an orange flame.

The bottom of the poster has three long columns of text in a small blue font that describe the course generally and gives detailed descriptions of the individual lessons with dates.
