Tracing the roots with science fiction posters
Although examples of science fiction can be found as far back as the Middle Ages, its presence in literature was not
particularly significant until the late 1800s. True popularity for both writers and audiences came with the rise of
technology, with developments such as industrial growth, electricity, medical advances and space exploration in
particular. Logically, as science and technology progress, so does the genre of science fiction. You can also see this
progression in some of our science fiction posters. Furthermore, there are actually two types of sci-fi, hard science
fiction and soft science fiction. Hard science fiction strictly follows scientific facts and principles, focusing on
natural sciences like physics, astronomy, chemistry, astrophysics, and so on. Soft science fiction is characterized more
by a focus on social sciences like anthropology, sociology, psychology and politics. In other words, soft science fiction
tends towards sciences involving human behavior. One must keep in mind, however, that most works use a combination of
both hard and soft science fiction. Check out our array of science fiction posters and see what works for you.
Diversity today
Photowall always places high value in having variety within their categories. The same goes for science fiction posters
where you will find smaller groups which are namely Aliens, Robots And Cyborgs and Ufos & Spaceships. Each of these
sections has their specific charm and lineup. In Aliens you will find charming pieces such as the science fiction poster
named Robot vs Alien mono, a delightfully quirky scene which does not have to be limited to kids' spaces, but can also
works its magic in adult rooms like the living room or perhaps even the break room at the office. Ufos & Spaceships
provides you with incredible scenarios like in UFO Fantasy, a science fiction poster depicting a hitchhiker who
encounters a ride from another world. Teenagers might also be into this sort of motif, as it looks cool and certainly has
that otherworldly quality.
The importance of science fiction posters
Many times, science fiction turns real scientific theories into full stories about what is possible or imaginable. These
stories then can suggest what could really happen in the future, explore what could happen if certain events came to be
and ultimately suggest consequences of technological and scientific advancements and innovation. In the past 150 years,
science fiction has become a huge and popular genre, with a particularly large presence in film and television. Elixir is
wonderful science fiction poster that illustrates these points. This motif not only looks good and generates visual
weight, it also presents to us what the future might hold for mankind. Manifest this power by using science fiction
posters in your home or office.
