Hairspray 1988 Movie Barcode Poster
This is Hairspray 1988 (1988), like you've never seen it before... told entirely in colour. The most prominent colour of every frame comes together to form a colour barcode of the film — a vivid portrait of its mood, light and palette from beginning to end. Choose your layout: the full design with the film's title, year and key credits, a simpler version with just the title and year, or the barcode on its own — a love letter to Hairspray 1988 for those who know it scene by scene.
John Waters went (almost) mainstream with this joyous satire of 1962 Baltimore, where Ricki Lake's irrepressible Tracy Turnblad dances her way onto a local TV show and into the fight for integration. With the legendary Divine as her mother and cameos from Sonny Bono and Debbie Harry, it's subversion smuggled inside a beehive hairdo — camp, big-hearted and utterly charming.
Order today and you can expect delivery 3rd - 9th September.

Print size & quality
Every piece is printed on thick, 175gsm fine-art matte paper with archival inks — so the colours stay rich, deep and true for years, with no fading and no fuss. Before it heads your way, it's wrapped in soft tissue to keep it scratch-free and sent out in a sturdy kraft tube or a robust triangular kraft box (never plastic).
Available sizes
Framing options
Fancy it ready to hang? Add a solid pine frame — sturdy, handsome and built to last. Take your pick from black, natural wood, or white. Each one is 20–25mm deep and 10–14mm wide: the sweet spot between strength and understated good looks.
We finish every frame with shatterproof, crystal-clear plexiglass to keep your print pristine — and it arrives already framed, so it goes straight from the box to your wall with no faff.
Framing is available for these sizes: A4, A3, A2, A1, 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, 18x24, 20x28, 24x32, 24x36 and 28x40.
