This week’s feature is the poster for Sinners, which leans heavily into an intense analogous color harmony. The bold yellow-orange acts as the key color, radiating through the blood-red sun and the stark, grunge-styled title. The surrounding hues—from deep crimson to rich, burnt browns—create a visual heat that mirrors the film’s gritty, high-stakes tone.

What really adds depth here are the subtle ember and fog overlays. They give the composition a layered, almost tactile quality, making the fiery palette feel alive and volatile—perfectly capturing the film’s promise of danger and tension.
