Famous films and books painstakingly categorised by colour in this limited-edition series of posters

If you're the sort of person that colour-codes your books, you'll love this set of posters by our neighbours, Studio Dorothy. Targeting film lovers and book worms, the graduated colour wheels list over 400 titles according to their varying hues. The prints take stylistic inspiration from a film reel, and feature favourites from A Clockwork Orange to Blue Velvet and Pretty In Pink.
