This interplay of character and environment visually communicates the blend of frontier themes with the blaxploitation genre. The vibrant color palette typical of the era adds an extra layer of impact, making the design eye-catching and memorable.
Title & Impact
The prominent display of the movie's title is an integral part of the design. The typography is bold and attention-grabbing, a deliberate strategy to draw viewers' attention. The choice to feature the controversial title underscores the film's unapologetic stance. The design as a whole is a bold statement, reflecting both the film's message and the marketing strategies of the time.
