What is the Dandi march?

The Salt March of 1930, when Gandhi walked to the sea at Dandi to make salt in protest against the salt tax. The poster shows him at the head of the marchers.

How do the three styles differ?

Linocut is a two-colour carved print, flat vector uses clean shapes and smooth colour, and poster paint looks like a hand-painted school chart.

Are these photographs?

No. Each one is a drawn illustration, and Gandhi is drawn with dignity.

Posters for Gandhi Jayanti on 2 October, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. They suit a school assembly, a cleanliness drive or a poster competition. The three readings are Gandhi seated at his spinning charkha, Gandhi leading marchers toward the sea at Dandi with his staff, and his round wire spectacles on a folded khadi cloth beside a pair of sandals. Type a twist, such as Swachh Bharat, to ask for a version of it.

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.
