About This Project
This Labyrinth movie poster captures the film’s mysterious and fantastical essence through the use of minimalist silhouettes and tonal contrast. The deep purples and muted violets create a dreamlike and immersive atmosphere that reflects the surreal world of Jim Henson’s film. The composition relies on layered silhouettes to express the story’s tension between illusion and reality, with the Goblin King’s imposing outline contrasting against the softer labyrinth shapes behind him—symbolizing both control and entrapment.
The subtle maze pattern in the background adds visual depth and complexity, guiding the viewer’s eye inward as though entering the labyrinth itself. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the sense of mystery, while the restrained color palette creates a cohesive and cinematic mood. Overall, the design achieves a strong visual balance between simplicity and symbolism, reimagining the film’s magical and enigmatic world through a modern, atmospheric lens.
MOODBOARD
This Labyrinth moodboard captures the darkly enchanting and mystical atmosphere of the film through deep purples, muted neutrals, and fantastical imagery. The gothic castle, moonlit skies, and maze motifs evoke a sense of mystery and fantasy, while the textures and tones reflect the dreamlike yet eerie world of the story. The overall aesthetic blends fantasy and surrealism, emphasizing both wonder and tension within the labyrinth’s magical realm.
TYPOGRAPHY
The typography for Labyrinth is inspired by the textured stone walls of the labyrinth in the film, giving it a weathered and ancient look. The rough, uneven edges of the typeface evoke the feeling of a mysterious maze carved from rock, connecting the visual identity of the poster directly to the movie’s setting. This choice reinforces the fantasy and depth of the story while maintaining a strong connection to its world.
