The National Theatre of Korea has unveiled a set of stylish posters for its upcoming production of Shakespeare's classic, Macbeth. With ingenious costuming and composition, the powerful design is a brooding reflection of the Scottish play, bringing a sleek and striking refinement to the poster design.

While we've seen our fair share of stunning film posters, rarely do we see theatre production posters get the same limelight from design fans. The National Theatre of Korea proves that poster design doesn't have to be overcomplicated to be memorable, spotlighting just how captivating minimalist design can be when used effectively.
