I was tasked to create a series of posters based on the theme, Retro Future, for my brother's 21st Birthday.
I based my designs on two aspects under Retro Futurism: the Atomic Age (a pre-World War 2 era where people were obsessed and paranoid with the rise of atomic bombs) and the Space Age (that era back in the 50s-60s when people were obsessed with a future of living in space).
I drew inspiration from these:
- The Jetsons
- The Jetsons
- Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
- Fallout (videogame)
- Back to the Future 2
- Back to the Future 2
- Iron Giant
- Forbidden Planet
- Meet the Robinsons
- Tomorrowland (the small park inside Disneyland)
I also browsed through different 50s-60s videos to get more or less what the Atomic Age was like.
The Invitation
Inspired by the Atomic Age era (1940 - 1960), where people were obsessed with their safety from atomic bombs
The Digital Age
I mixed elements of the vision of the future of both today's time (Digital Age) and from the 50s (Retro Future) to create this unique piece
Note: Images are from various old movie posters online
World of Tomorrow

The Atomic Age

The Family of the Future
