%X Movie posters are designed to be short, clear, and attention-grabbing, with visual elements like movie scenes taking precedence. The meaning of a poster is conveyed primarily through these visuals. This analysis of the Barbie poster aims to understand the rationale behind its design elements. The study concludes that the Barbie movie poster uses visual elements to emphasize Barbie as the central, empowered figure, aligning with the filmĄ¯s feminist themes. The strategic use of color, positioning, and interaction reinforces the redefinition of traditional gender roles, presenting Barbie as a multifaceted, autonomous character.<br />
