The worldwide marketing campaign for Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) is instantly recognisable by the (now) iconic alien egg imagery designed by the creative agency Bemis Balkind. But before that, the much-respected poster artist Bill Gold was commissioned by the American distributors to create a 'teaser' poster. Gold's design (he was told he couldn't use any images of the H. R. Giger designed 'Alien' as the big reveal was only going to happen on screen) focuses on the one-word title repeated in different formats and forms the substance of the poster. Genuinely scarce in this style from a truly influential movie that forever changed the face of modern sci-fi horror.
