Sombra

The graphic poster design for Sombra, a Spanish drama film, is a bold and visually arresting piece that blends modern design aesthetics with the thematic depth of the film. Departing from conventional tones associated with mystery and drama, the design embraces a daring use of vibrant pink as its dominant color, creating a striking and unexpected visual identity.

The color pink, often associated with femininity and softness, is reimagined here as a symbol of intensity, defiance, and emotional rawness, reflecting the film’s complex themes of identity, resilience, and self-discovery. To break away from traditional palettes dominated by blacks, grays, and muted tones, the creative decision was made to lean into pink as a statement color. This choice not only challenges conventional notions of darkness but also makes the poster immediately stand out in a crowded market.
