Description

This vertical poster features a central cluster of three objects—a long-handled shovel, a bolt-action rifle with a bayonet, and a heavy mallet—bundled together by a ribbon. The ribbon is striped horizontally in green, white, and red, and it bears the word "UNIDAD" in large, black, blocky capital letters across its front. The objects are set against a background of orange and white stylized geometric shapes that resemble a starburst. At the bottom left, a gear and a small section of a red and white striped banner are visible. Below the main illustration, small black text reads "SECRETARIA DE EDUCACION PUBLICA". Along the right edge of the artwork, a vertical color calibration strip and a grayscale measurement scale are positioned against a gray background.
