Carnaval posters: confetti street, bloco de rua, Barranquilla

Posters for a street party, a school, a cafe or a wall in the week Carnaval begins. The lettering is set large over the festival's own things: confetti and streamers, the surdo drum of a bloco, a Marimonda mask from Barranquilla. The three looks are a riso-style screenprint, layered cut paper and night neon. Type a different text or a town, such as a small town, and the layout takes it.

Frequently asked questions

Which words are on the posters?

The sheets letter Carnaval, Bloco de Rua and Carnaval de Barranquilla, as set. If you type another text, check its spelling before printing.

Is there a date on the poster?

The street-band poster leaves a clear band at the bottom left for the date. Add the date and place in a photo editor or a text box.

What is the difference between the three looks?

Screenprint uses four flat inks on cream paper with a printed grain. Cut paper layers bright shapes on deep blue. Night neon uses glowing lines on a near-black ground.

Are these photographs?

No. They are flat illustrations, not photographs of a real festival.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
