The book's approach involves a systematic examination, beginning with core concepts like visual communication and the power of suggestion. It then progresses to case studies analyzing posters from various genres and eras to identify common deceptive techniques.

By exploring examples of film promotion, the book reveals how the film industry's marketing practices can undermine audience trust and distort artistic integrity. The goal is to encourage a more transparent and honest approach to film marketing.
