A Tribute to Walter Spies
As the statue is located on the island of Bali, the animator used Walter Spies’ painting style in one of the animated sequences in the movie. Following the same approach, we utilized Walter Spies’ unique light and shadow style to create a special poster series.

A custom typeface was designed to capture the character of the GWK statue. A condensed type with a lower bar position was intended to make the type appear taller. Curve details were added within the straight and strong stems to represent the statue’s wings and to romanticize the overall look.
