Is the Portuguese correct?

The sheets letter the words as set, such as Desfile das Escolas de Samba and Ensaio da Bateria. Check the spelling against your own text before printing.

Are these official posters from a samba school?

No. They are illustrations in the style of samba school posters, not from any school or parade.

Can I change the year or the title?

The parade sheet shows Carnaval 2027. Type another year or title in the direction field, and check the lettering before printing.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Lambe-lambe is a red and black woodcut style on yellow paper. Gold and green is a flat emerald poster with sequin-like dots. Modern graphic is magenta, orange and teal on royal blue.

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.
