"Shakkahs" Poster Design
Visual exploration of bold typography and nostalgic imagery
This poster blends typographic experimentation with surreal, dreamlike aesthetics to create a strong visual impact. The design is anchored by a custom, ultra-bold display typeface that spells out “SHAKKAHS” in a stacked, modular grid. The letterforms are heavily rounded, monolithic, and softened, conveying a playful but grounded visual weight. The typography’s gradient fill—a blend of sunset oranges, soft corals, and sky blues—adds a fluid sense of motion and warmth, evoking tropical heat and hazy summer memories.
The background sky is rendered in a textured, halftone-like style, with cartoonish clouds drifting through a saturated blue sky. This brings a nostalgic, lo-fi photographic quality that echoes retro postcards or 90s anime backdrops.
The red corrugated rooftop cutting into the composition adds a grounded, architectural anchor to an otherwise ethereal scene. The geometric repetition and vivid primary color give it a graphic, pop-art sensibility, tying the foreground and background together with tension and contrast.
Overall, the poster plays with dimensional layering, colour gradients, and typographic scale to capture a mood of dreamy familiarity — somewhere between suburban nostalgia and surreal pop fantasy. The result is a vibrant and transportive visual identity that invites curiosity and warmth.
