The ongoing design plague of floating heads may be coming to an end after actress Zendaya shared the poster for her upcoming movie 'Challengers'. With a delightfully retro 80s feel and stylish illustrative design, it's a much-needed refresh from the recent formulaic genre of movie poster artwork.

With upcoming graphic design trends heading down a more maximalist route, this classy poster is certainly a promising start for 2024. From the positive audience reception, it seems that we could be set for a resurgence of beautiful design with retro flair and plenty of personality.
