Poster design for JD Schneider and le Labo
The poster for Psychomanteon was designed as a quiet structure — a system of thresholds rather than a surface of images. Each band, each gap, operates like a fragment of film: something withheld, something revealed. I wanted to echo the film’s premise — a poetic device that seeks to bridge the visible and the unseen — without attempting to represent it.
The design leans on rhythm and restraint: a black field interrupted by directional forms, a tension between opacity and light. Typography here doesn’t occupy space; it guides it. The words behave like coordinates, situating the viewer inside a suspended narrative. In the end, the poster becomes its own psychomanteon — a mirror for what is not shown, a space where the act of looking turns inward.
