JAWS 2 (TEASER 2) 1978 - Paper Movie Poster

Design Overview

The poster, designed for the "Teaser 2" promotional campaign of Jaws 2, encapsulates the essence of the film's suspense and terror through stark visual contrasts. It likely aims to build anticipation and evoke immediate recognition of the iconic shark-attack theme.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central focus of the design would likely be the ominous silhouette of a shark, lurking beneath the ocean's surface. This silhouette is immediately recognizable as the great white shark, and its placement, possibly positioned to strike from below, creates a sense of imminent danger. The background is likely a gradient of deep blues and greens, reminiscent of the ocean depths. This color scheme not only visually represents the setting of the film but also contributes to the poster's mood by being a dark, foreboding backdrop.

The title "JAWS 2" is prominently displayed, likely in a bold, attention-grabbing font. "TEASER 2" might be a smaller but clear font, indicating this is not the full theatrical poster. The year "1978" would be included to establish the film's release date.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's key symbolic element is the shark itself. Representing the film's antagonist, the shark embodies the unknown and deadly threat lurking beneath the surface. The positioning of the shark and the murky background is symbolic of the impending doom that the characters and viewers will face.

The color palette adds a layer of symbolism: The dark blues and greens suggest the cold, isolating vastness of the ocean, where humans are vulnerable and the shark reigns. The lack of vibrant colors creates an atmosphere of suspense, which contributes to the overall message of the movie.

Premium matte paper posters printed on museum-grade archival stock (175 g/m²). Designed for indoor display, these prints deliver precise color, fine detail and long-term stability — allow a small production tolerance of ±1/16".

These posters are printed on archival museum-grade paper that feels substantial in the hand and holds ink very well. At 175 g/m² the sheet is heavy enough to lie flat in a frame but still easy to handle when framing or mounting.

We print with pigmented, archival inks that emphasize tonal range and protect against quick fading. The matte surface soaks up light rather than reflecting it, which helps textures and subtle color shifts read naturally under indoor lighting.

  • Paper: museum-grade archival matte, 175 g/m² — sturdy, low-reflection surface for artwork fidelity.
  • Inks: pigmented archival inks for accurate, long-lasting color reproduction.
  • Finish: matte — reduces glare and keeps detail visible under common indoor lights.
  • Use: intended for indoor display only; avoid prolonged direct sunlight and damp areas.
  • Tolerance: small production variance (typically ±1/16") is normal; framers account for this routinely.

These posters work well in living rooms, bedrooms, studies and office spaces — anywhere you want printed art that reads clearly without distracting reflections. The matte surface is especially useful beneath spotlights or ceiling fixtures.

  1. Pick a spot: choose a wall away from long periods of direct sun and high humidity to keep pigments stable.
  2. Frame or mount: the paper’s weight pairs nicely with common frames and matting; if using a mat, leave a small gap to account for the ±1/16" tolerance.
  3. Arrangement tip: for groupings, place larger pieces at eye level and allow 4–6" between frames to avoid visual clutter.

Practical note: if you plan to float the print in a frame, check the frame rabbet size against the print dimensions and allow for the small manufacturing variance.

Keep prints looking fresh with light, occasional care. Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If a mark needs attention, dab very lightly with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately — do not rub hard.

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive pads; they can harm paper and inks. For long-term preservation, consider framing behind glass or acrylic and keeping the piece out of humid rooms.

Posters are offered in multiple standard sizes. Listed dimensions refer to the print area (width × height). Because of the production and cutting process, expect a small variance — typically within ±1/16".

If matching multiple prints or ordering custom framing, measure the final framed dimensions and allow a small margin for this manufacturing tolerance to ensure a good fit.
