Marketing
German term or phrase: plakative Wand
I just wanted to double-check:
plakativ in this sense means "with an eye-catching design", doesn't it, or can it sometimes be a synonym for Plakatwand?

English translation:with a VERY eye-catching design *g*
Explanation:
"Plakativ" often has slightly negative connotations, like in "ostentatious" with a simplistic touch. It's never used as a synonym for "Plakatwand".

"Striking" would be an alternative, a striking design.
