Posters are an essential element of movie marketing, serving as a powerful visual tool to convey the film’s essence. They often provide the audience’s first impression of a movie, setting the tone, genre, and style with a single image. A strong poster can intrigue viewers, sparking curiosity and creating anticipation. By establishing a visual identity through striking imagery, typography, and color schemes, posters become synonymous with the film itself, often achieving iconic status. They also evoke emotions that align with the movie’s mood, whether it’s excitement for an action-packed blockbuster or nostalgia for a heartfelt drama. Beyond physical displays, posters have adapted seamlessly to the digital age, dominating online platforms and serving as thumbnails for streaming services or key visuals on social media. Their versatility allows them to promote films across a range of formats, from billboards to merchandise. Additionally, well-crafted posters are memorable, often becoming cultural artifacts and collectible items for fans. Despite the rise of digital trailers and teasers, posters remain foundational to a movie’s identity, blending art with advertising to captivate audiences worldwide.

Even as a little kid, I couldn’t resist asking cinemas for movie posters after the credits rolled, eager to hang them on my bedroom walls. Years later, to find myself not just designing those very posters but doing so through official partnerships feels like a full-circle moment—and an incredibly joyful one at that.

I’m incredibly proud that this poster I designed was personally selected by M. Night Shyamalan.

I’m immensely proud that the poster I designed was used not only during the film’s marketing campaign but also at its premiere.
