Design Elements and Symbolism
The design likely features the film's title, "MADNESS," prominently displayed. The typography employed would likely reflect the era's aesthetic, possibly utilizing a bold, stark font designed to grab the viewer's attention. The color palette is expected to be limited, perhaps utilizing contrasting colors like red and black, which were commonly used to create dramatic tension in exploitation film posters.
The imagery may allude to the dark subject matter of the film. Expect visual cues representing the Manson Family narrative. This might include stylized depictions of faces, designed to convey a sense of unease. These figures might represent the unsettling events explored in the film, the chaos of the Manson family, and the resulting societal fear. The use of dramatic facial expressions is a key element of exploitation film design, designed to provoke an emotional response.
The overall effect is intended to evoke the unsettling themes of the film. The design serves as a visual reminder of the movie's controversial subject matter, and the film's reputation as a prime example of exploitation cinema, capturing the sensationalism and the dramatic storytelling style of the era. The poster design is intended to be a piece of artwork that encapsulates the film's grim story.
