Poster
Interstellar is a mainstream Sci-fi Thriller with psychology thriller traits. The protagonist is centrally framed and wears a space suit which seems to be the iconic look towards the movie. The backdrop is a snow plains which  seems to be the main iconic location of the movie. The colours are mainly white or a saturated blue colour palette to compliment the location and give the explorer mysterious feel. Further the colour can connote peace, mystery, and a beginning which all ties in within the movie. The title is serif to stylishly stand out and is present with half the title white and the other black as monochrome, which is binary opposition. This could signify a dark side within the movie. The director, production company, etc are placed underneath the title which most film posters do. The statement about the movie being theaters and IMAX are in bold to alert the audience and  underneath states the date with a bigger font size. The actors names are place above with the second name bold in black against the white background.

Magazine cover
Empire is a lead world-wide selling movie magazine that specialises in mainstream movies. The title/masthead has adapted to the films themes by using complimentary colours and a space backdrop within the bold sans-serif text which links towards the film, since its about space. Even the sell-lines has adapted to the house theme of blue and white. At the bottom right corner is a puff that contradicts the colour scheme pattern by being red which is binary opposition making the puff stand out and attracts the audiences attention. The protagonist is centrally framed for star marketing.

Website
The website starts with a transition of the stars and once complete shows there trailer



House Style
The masthead is the same between the poster and website, however not for the magazine due the magazine needing to keep a certain style of their own.
