This is one of the earlier Bond posters for the 3rd film Goldfinger, there is a reacuuring theme of gold and yellow colouring which stands out against the black for a high impact effect which captures the dynamic element of Bond's personality. A variety of font sizes are used to draw the veiwers attention in a certain order, specifically to the phrase "Everything he touches" which could be veiwed both as a reference to king Midas and as an innuendo about his well know status as a womanizer. Red alludes to danger which is a convention of the genre.
The naked woman covered in gold symbolises sex, death, wealth and the link between the three. these themes are often addressed in Bond films and as a result are now considered to be a standard of the genre. The franchise's 007 logo is tactically placed between Sean Connery's name and the film's title showing that even at this early stage they were keen to establish the franchise's branding.
