with some flashes of
colour (the red and blue of
Optimus and the glowing
yellow of his sword).

The majority of the poster
is muted with a blue tint
to the whole thing. The
only bright colours on the
poster are the red of the
Marvel logo, Iron Mans'
suit, Captain Americas
shield and Thor’s cape,
and the orange of the
flames.
The main actors names are
written in a white font to
stand out from the
background. Well known
actors are used to draw the
audience in as many people
will recognise them and
know of previous films they
have starred in.
The film title is centred and
in a metallic font to attract
the audience. This suits with
the rest of the poster as the
two closest characters, Iron
Man and Thor, are wearing
metallic armour. The silver
font fits with the glowing of
Iron Man's arc reactor,
Thor’s armour and the
glowing light on the top of
the tower in the
background. The A from the
“Avengers” logo is also used
on the release date to keep
it consistent.
