Guardians Of The Galaxy Language denotation & connotation: there are 5 distinct characters in a purple and blue galaxy background, you can also see people who don't look like humans (different coloured skin, animal-like). This could suggest that the film isn't set on Earth and is a sci-fi movie. This could also be an action movie as the people are holding weapons and look ready for battle Industry companies & organisations: at the bottom of the poster it says "from the creators of iron man and the avengers" this could be placed there as these are popular movies so it could influence others to watch it.
