Stranger Things 5 - Cinematic Key Art & Campaign Poster Exploration
A cinematic poster and campaign key art exploration for Stranger Things Season 5, designed to feel visceral, ominous, and final.
This concept leans heavily into apocalyptic horror, elevating the final season as an end-of-era moment rather than a standard episodic release. The Mind Flayer takes center stage as an unstoppable presence, looming over the core cast as the world fractures around them.
The visual language blends distressed textures, painterly lighting, and bold color contrast to evoke tension, scale, and inevitability - positioning the final chapter as a cultural event, not just a season launch.
This project explores how a single piece of key art can scale across:
Streaming platform UI
Outdoor & urban placements
Print applications
Merchandise & collectibles
Social-first digital formats
