Film and television posters reimagined as stack of retro tapes

As we teeter on the cusp of awards season, this graphic design project by Jordan Bolton seems extremely fitting.

Stack of coloured cassette tapes reimagined as film posters including Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name and Stranger Things, designed by Jordan Bolton

The Cassette Series reimagines films and TV shows as stacks of retro tapes, focusing specifically on those where music plays an important role. In addition, the colour palette for each tape is styled with that of the show or film and the typography is mirrored in style and hue.

Posters in the series include Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name, Stranger Things and 20th Century Women, among others. Discover more on Jordan's Etsy shop and Instagram account.
