Description
Against a black border, the central image, placed in the upper quadrant, is an abstracted landscape design of brightly colored cut out shapes that suggest water, trees, mountains, and sky. The colors are vivid blues, greens, yellow, and lavender against a black mountain range that cuts across the image and merges with the black border of the poster. Below the image in white text at right, is the title: North Cascades / State of Washington
