THE LAWS OF THE POSTER

Seven rules observed on a century of blockbuster key art. The studio enforces them so your sheet reads like it shipped from a poster house.

01

The title owns the bottom third

Key art breathes at the top and lands at the bottom. The studio locks your title zone and shows the boundary as a keyline.

02

The billing block whispers

Credits are set ultra-condensed and quiet, roles small above names. Loud credits are the mark of an amateur sheet.

03

One face rules the sheet

A poster gets one display typeface. The tagline and credits defer to it in weight, width and size.

04

Eyes live in the upper half

Faces and focal points sit above the vertical center, where the eye enters the frame first.

05

One light, one accent

A single key light and a single accent color. Everything else stays in the ink and bone range.

06

Respect the four percent margin

Nothing lives within four percent of the trim edge. The studio draws the safe margin for you.

07

The tagline never outshouts the title

Tracked wide, set small, placed high. A tagline seduces; the title announces.

THE TWENTY-FIVE FACES, 1530 TO 2011

Every face observed on movie posters, title cards and credit crawls, set here in open equivalents where the original is proprietary. All twenty-five ship in the studio.
