Gremlins 3 - Cinematic Key Art & Poster Exploration

A cinematic key art and poster exploration for a modern reboot of Gremlins 3.

This concept leans into a darker, more atmospheric tone while preserving the iconic silhouette and mischievous energy of the original franchise. The goal was to reintroduce the character through restraint, contrast, and scale — letting shadow, lighting, and negative space do the heavy lifting.

The design was developed with real-world applications in mind, including theatrical posters, outdoor billboards, and collector-focused premium formats.

Created as a speculative concept to showcase cinematic branding, franchise storytelling, and key art development for film and entertainment properties.
