To catch the readers attention buzz words has been placed within the magazine such as ‘unlim-ited’, as they are trying to promote the movie to a wider audience, they use the buzz words as a form off capturing and drawing in the audience to want to watch the film.

By having the electricity bults on the masthead to creates a connotation of power as it crates an im-agery of the powerful greek god Zeus which makes the audience think that there would be a character in the movie with god like abilities or someone so powerful, but by having the bultz be behind Iron Man it makes us feel as if he is the strongest character within the movie.
