Colour Scheme- This poster uses a mixture of silver/white with black as its colour scheme. The colours used in the background are quite dark, suggesting evil or mystery. Opposite to this, the main image is bright and shiny making it emphasised and stand out, the choice of bright colours could suggest purity and peace.      

Layout- Alongside the colour scheme, the choice of layout is used effectively. The main image is the series's logo, so making it the main image could be used so that viewers could remember the logo. The masthead is reasonably small, but its choice of colour stands out from the dark background. Likewise the slogan and date stands out, but not as much as the masthead. The background behind the logo is a image of a desert, this links to the "Wild-West" genre and the name of the series.

Themes- Suggested by the genre, the series could have themes of: action, violence, adventure or even romance. On top of this, A theme of mystery could also be suggested by the use of the figure in the middle of the poster.
