- Large scale: Meant for public consumption and impact.
- Simplified forms: Emphasizing clarity and accessibility for the masses.
- Vibrant colors: Reflecting Mexican culture and energy.
- Political themes: Celebrating revolution, labor, and indigenous heritage, while critiquing capitalism and inequality.
- Narrative focus: Telling stories of Mexican identity and social progress.
