Bedeutung
To be very noticeable or prominent.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Polish design, especially the famous Polish School of Posters, 'rzucanie się w oczy' was a goal. Artists used bold metaphors and colors to grab attention in a grey urban landscape. In Polish corporate culture, being too 'rzucający się w oczy' can sometimes be seen as lack of professionalism, depending on the industry. Modesty is often still valued in formal sectors. Polish influencers often use the phrase 'rzucać się w oczy' when talking about 'must-have' items or 'eye-catching' locations for photos. Polish teachers often use this phrase to point out obvious mistakes in students' work, emphasizing that the error is so large it cannot be ignored.
Use with 'od razu'

Watch the gender
Remember the verb must agree with the thing that is noticeable, not you! (e.g., Sukienka rzuciła się, błąd rzucił się).
