A Day at the Races (1937)

15

A film poster designed for the Marx Brothers comedy A Day at the Races. The composition reflects early Hollywood promotional graphics, combining illustrated portraiture, expressive typography, and hierarchical layout. While primarily viewed as advertising material, the poster demonstrates how graphic design shaped audience perception and cinematic branding in everyday public spaces.
