Forget stock photos. I design custom posters and ad visuals that blend Indian nostalgia with sci-fi weirdness. From retro-Bollywood aesthetics to atomic-age dreams, let us build a world for your brand.

An album cover for the fictional movie 'Do Deewane', showing a woman dancing with a robot in a field of flowers. This is from my 'VyomaVision' series, a tribute to a forgotten Bollywood sci-fi studio.

A still from the fictional VyomaVision film 'Ek Alien Ki Maut', showing a scientist examining a dead alien. This series allows me to tell stories through the visual language of a lost film studio.

The poster for 'Ek Alien Ki Maut', designed in the style of a classic Indian pulp-noir thriller. The dramatic typography and painted style are key elements.

A still from the fictional VyomaVision film 'Saaya', featuring a woman confronting her robotic double. This explores classic sci-fi themes of identity and artificial intelligence.

A poster I designed inspired by the film 'The Substance', reimagined as a 70s Indian sci-fi horror movie. I enjoy creating these cross-cultural fan art pieces.

Another Indian-style poster for 'The Substance', this one focusing on the theme of duality and reflection, rendered in a classic painted style.

A third poster concept for 'The Substance', showing a vanity mirror and a mysterious potion. This version leans into the body horror and beauty industry satire of the film.

A pulp-horror style ad for 'The Substance', with a woman's face peeling away to reveal the muscle underneath. This is a more graphic and shocking take on the concept.

A retro-futurist poster concept for ISRO, inspired by mid-century graphic design. This series celebrates India's space program with a vintage aesthetic.

About Retro-Futurist Branding: Posters & Ads

My process is not just about typing prompts. Every poster I design goes through intense manual Photoshop work. I hand-fix the wonky AI hands, correct typography artifacts, and layer in textures to make sure it looks like a real 70s print ad or a vintage Bollywood poster, rather than a soulless digital generation.

I am Prateek. I do not just run prompts; I write the lore and build the world before I ever touch the design software. If you are tired of soulless stock photos and want something that actually sticks in people's minds, let us build something weird together.
