Arrival Modernist Swiss Graphic Design Style Movie Poster

A minimalist reimagining of Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival (2016), designed in the spirit of Swiss Modernism / International Typographic Style. This poster strips the film back to its essential forms — clean lines, a strict grid, and typography-led composition — reflecting the movie’s central themes of communication, time, and clarity.

Exclusive to Flossie & Fred - you won't find this print anywhere else. 

🖋️Mid-Century Graphic Design...... and why we love it so much!
Mid-century, Swiss graphic design emerged in the 1940s to the late 1960s, shaped by the post-war boom and a desire for bold simplicity. Rooted in Bauhaus and Swiss Modernism, it embraced clean lines, geometric shapes, strong grids, and minimal ornamentation. Designers like Paul Rand, Saul Bass, and Josef Müller-Brockmann championed this aesthetic in everything from logos and posters to advertising and film titles.

The style balanced form and function, using limited color palettes, sans-serif fonts, and asymmetrical layouts to communicate clearly and creatively. It reflected the optimism, innovation, and futuristic spirit of the atomic age, space race, and modern living. Today, it’s loved for its timeless, retro-futuristic feel — and still influences everything from branding to movie posters.
