Retro Film Posters: SciFi / Action Films

Exploring typeface options, weight and composition, and balancing imagery with key movie themes.

SciFi Film, "Dune"

Intending to avoid overly used futuristic text styles, this minimal font choice allowed a sense of legibility balancing a subtle "future" look. The display text complemented the secondary text style of Futura.

Action Film, "Fight Club"

Exploring the schizophrenic tendencies of the "two" main characters, different layout options visualizing that split was explored. However, staying true to the collective styles of the other posters in this series, the final included "film reels" as sections instead. The first two iterations felt too much like a book cover.
