The prints are detailed and well-done -- especially the color contrast, which gives dimension to the drawings. The fictional fighters of Kelava's work appear strong and fearless, as the illustrator presents them in their best attires and unbeatable poses. Kelava's intense color palette of purples and burgundy gives his posters a dark tone that conveys the power of heroes. The typography is also brilliant as it matches the characters' personalities. [Alien, Stormtrooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbuilt-star-wars-logo), [Batman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-air-up) and Zelda are some of the famous subjects that Josip Kelava used in his posters. Even though many artists have worked with similar concepts before, these prints stand out because of the unusual range of colors and accurate depiction of the characters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Typographic Posters:** The trend of creating typographic posters featuring popular characters creates an opportunity to explore new and unconventional color palettes. - **Dimensional Design:** The use of dimensional design highlights the opportunity to create unique and engaging graphics that stand out. - **Character Revivals:** The trend of reviving popular fictional characters in unique ways creates opportunities for designers to showcase their creativity and ingenuity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can incorporate dimensional design and explore typography to create visually appealing posters and designs. - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can use typographic posters as a unique and creative way to promote products or services. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore the trend of character revivals and bring back popular fictional characters in new and exciting ways, opening new avenues for merchandise and branding opportunities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Space-Themed Puzzled Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-carter.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Superhero-Themed Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-headphone-stands.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Artful Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archival-poster-collection.md) - [Illuminated LED Artwork Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-poster.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md)
