The poster takes the iconic image of the mysterious Monolith as its basis, recreating the frame from the film when the celestial bodies align with the black mass. The combines illustrative and photo- graphic in an attempt to break free of the digitised, ‘Illustrator look’. The area of black dominates the image, but the eye travels along the axis created by the Monolith, sun and moon. There is an unsettling sense of perspective in the original Kubrick composition which was emulated in the poster. The lack of a title (barring in the billing in the bottom right corner) furthers the confusing and mysterious nature of the image.
