Design Elements and Interpretation
The central image typically features the dramatic and awe-inspiring vision of the film's climax. The most striking visual is the towering, mothership, an emblem of otherworldly beauty and advanced technology.

The color palette is crucial, utilizing a combination of deep blues, oranges, and purples to replicate the dramatic lighting often employed in the film. These colors not only create visual appeal but also underscore the emotional tones of the narrative. These colors highlight the feeling of both fear and excitement that comes from the possibility of encountering life from another world.
