Fantasy-Themed Travel Posters

Designer Ali Xenos Created Posters for Game of Thrones and More

— December 3, 2013 — Pop Culture
Fantasy fan and graphic designer Ali Xenos has created a series of retro looking travel posters for non-existent destinations. This poster collection includes depictions of fantasy locations from Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and even Star Wars. These simple, yet eye-catching posters will please fans of these films and programs.

Xenos created these travel posters using colors that reflect the nature of these destinations. For example, Mordor’s poster was done in shades of gray, black, red and orange. This helps to showcase the sinister nature of this location. The poster for The Wall (from Game of Thrones) depicts an icy wall, and a trail that’s partially blocked by blizzard-like conditions. It appears cold and uninviting.

These fantasy land travel posters accurately sum up what these mythical places would be like if they were real.

3. Art and Design - The Art and Design industry can focus on creating new merchandising trends for niche fandoms by incorporating retro and fantasy elements.
