Typographic poster for Stanley Kubrick's science fiction masterpiece. The famous quote is not included in the final version of the film but appears in Arthur C. Clakre's original book. The em dash that breaks the phrase represents the ever present monolith. The poster is set in Futura Extra Bold, (Kubrick's typeface of choice) and printed with glow in the dark ink, so the star field only becomes visual in the darkness of space.
This is a really simple idea that has been executed by Richard Perez very well indeed. He has typographically communicated the Stanley Kubrick film 2001 by using a quote that wasn't even featured in any of his film. He has done this with the colour choice and also favorite type face of Stanley Kubrick. These are all points that people wont know until they read about it. Very good.
This is kind of similar to the idea I want to use for The Hitchcock series. Kind of subliminal messages for the films. Lots of dialogue that may not even make sense but fully relate to the films content itself.
