The typography of the title plays a major part in the design of this poster. Written across the bottom of the poster, the 'k' and 'h' of the word 'Ankhen' are extended to the top of the poster. The letters 'a' and 'e' have eyes drawn inside them indicating the title itself. Set behind this is a large scale portrait of a woman (Mala Sinha), the eyes have been heavily empahasised which is a further indication of the meaning of the title. The whole poster has a sixties look to it. The artist's signature is on the left hand edge of the poster.
