Rendered in a delicate watercolour-and-line style, the image has a warm, adventurous tone quite different from the more dramatic standard theatrical posters. The intricate mechanical details of the craft, the angled timber supports, and the soft sky beyond give the scene a sense of movement, invention, and open-air freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1778\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003eAt lower left, the understated \u003cstrong data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1843\"\u003eNAUSICAA Of The Valley of Wind\u003c\/strong\u003e logotype and copyright line are integrated with exceptional restraint, allowing the illustration to dominate.
