To promote his own lecture, presumably at the School of Visual Arts given that no details about the location are provided here, Chwast creates a characteristically off-beam composition suggesting one of his typically untraditional presentations. He assembles the tools of his trade (including a pencil) and his iconic pipe in a semi-abstract design, with humorous, self-deprecating information in small letters in the right margin about his lecture on the (tongue-in-cheek) topic: “Saving the ozone layer through graphic design.”
