Movie poster design.
Drix Agency is a movie poster design studio at drix.agency. We design the one-sheet that has to sell a film in one second — then cut theatrical, streaming and social sizes from the same key art so the film still looks like itself on every platform.
This page is the commercial brief for hiring the studio. Genre pages below are how the one-second sell changes. Service pages are the job: indie, festival, campaign key art. First concepts typically arrive in 24–48 hours. Revisions stay open until approval. There is no minimum budget to start.
Who this service is for
Independent producers, directors and marketing teams who need a cinematic poster that can sit next to studio titles on a wall or a grid. If you have a festival deadline, a sales-agent package, or a streaming launch, you are buying campaign art — even if you only print one 27×40 this month. We work worldwide. Email info@drix.agency or use the quote form.
What a movie poster design package includes
- ✓ Original concept directions, not twelve versions of the same composite
- ✓ Print-ready US theatrical one-sheet (27×40 inches at 300 DPI)
- ✓ Layered master so titles, laurels and billing can move later
- ✓ 1920×1080 streaming crop and social sizes when the campaign needs them
We test type and faces at about 200 pixels wide before the print lock. A poster that only looks expensive at desktop size fails on a phone grid. Compare quotes on that deliverable list — not on the word “poster.” Planning ranges for independent films live in the cost guide (about $400–$2,500 for a single custom poster; $1,500–$6,000+ for a key art campaign). Those are not a public rate card. Drix quotes per project.
How the work runs
Discover, concept, refine, deliver — the same movie poster design process on every brief. Send logline, genre, deadline with a timezone, stills you can legally use, and three reference posters. If a festival or distributor sent a spec PDF, attach it. The briefing guide is a copy-paste template. Human-directed design; we do not sell unedited AI one-sheets as finished campaign art.
Browse by genre
Genre is the first contract with the audience. A horror thumbnail cannot read like a family title. Pick the genre that matches the sell, then come back to the service that matches the files you must deliver.
- Sci-Fi movie poster design
Sci-fi posters live or die on scale and atmosphere. We build key art that sets up world, tone and stakes at a glance — from minimalist high-concept imagery to fully composited hero shots.
- Horror movie poster design
Horror marketing has to unsettle before a viewer reads a single word. We design posters built around tension, silhouette and suggestion — visuals that make an audience want to look away and look closer at the same time.
- Thriller movie poster design
Thriller key art works through composition and implication — a single frozen moment that hints at danger without giving away the story. We design posters that create urgency and intrigue at first glance.
- Drama movie poster design
Drama posters sell emotion and performance. We focus on composition, expression and color grading that communicate the heart of the story and give the film a premium, awards-ready presence.
- Action movie poster design
Action key art needs energy and clarity at a glance — dynamic composition, strong silhouettes and typography that reads instantly on a thumbnail or a billboard.
- Family movie poster design
Family entertainment posters need to be bright, welcoming and instantly readable to audiences of every age, while still standing out on a crowded streaming grid or in a cinema lobby.
- Comedy movie poster design
Comedy posters have to sell the joke before anyone hits play — bright, playful compositions, expressive casting shots and typography with personality, built to make an audience smile before the trailer even starts.

Movie poster design questions
What does a movie poster design service include?
A professional movie poster design service from Drix Agency typically includes a cinematic one-sheet, a layered master, and the digital sizes your release needs — often a 27×40 inch print file at 300 DPI, a 1920×1080 streaming image, and social crops. First concepts typically arrive in 24–48 hours. Revisions stay open until approval. There is no minimum budget to start.
Is Drix Agency a movie poster design agency or a template shop?
Drix Agency is a movie poster and key art studio. We design original campaign art for filmmakers — not unedited AI one-sheets sold as finished campaign art, and not a Fiverr-style template catalog. Quotes are per project against the files you must deliver.
Why design a movie poster by genre first?
Genre is the first contract with the audience. A horror thumbnail cannot read like a family title. We lock tone in one second, then cut theatrical, streaming and social sizes from the same key art so the film still looks like itself on every platform.
Do you only design posters in one genre?
No. Drix Agency designs sci-fi, horror, thriller, drama, action, family and comedy. Pick the genre page that matches the one-second sell, then brief indie, festival or key art depending on the files you must deliver.
Can one key art system cover theatrical and streaming?
Yes. That is the point of locking a master before crops. A 27×40 one-sheet and a 1920×1080 tile should share the same hero, type and color. Changing the hero after ads are live means re-grading every size.
