Can someone do graphic design homework please? I got the instructions below Get 5-8 examples of game covers from a game genre you like.

Use the game cover analysis guidance sheet (please scroll all the way down) to analyse one of these.

Split your analysis into paragraphs: Typography , Image and Composition

Please see the pdf attachment too. dont choose games from slide 5 to 16.

Game Cover Analysis Guidance Sheet

When analysing other designers’ work use the following guidelines to help you complete a thorough analysis of the Game cover. You may follow all the points or select the most relevant.

Typography

• Name of font/typeface if you know it. If not try to describe it eg. Serif/sans serif, simple/decorative etc.

• Upper and/or lower case

• Bold, italic, underlined

• Are multiple fonts used?

• WHY have these fonts been chosen? How do they relate to the game?

Image

• Stylised or realistic – is it more of a graphic or an illustration or a photograph?

• Simplified/silhouetted/distorted

• To what extent is it integrated with the type?

• WHY has this image been chosen? How does it relate to the game?

Composition

• How are the text and image arranged? Which is more prominent?

• Do the text and image combine or are they very separate?

• Consider the use of negative space in the design. Where has the designer left space and why have they done this?

• WHY has this composition been chosen? What effect does it have on the viewer?

The Formal Elements

Always refer back to the use of the formal elements where relevant:

• Line – Thickness, weight

• Shape – Stylised, simplified, geometric – does it contain the logo

• Colour – Complementary or harmonious. Aggressive or calm – consider the psychology of colour.

• Tone – has tone been used to create a sense of volume?

• Form – has tone or a gradient been used to make the logo look 3D?

• Texture

• Pattern

You must always explain the effect the visual qualities have on the impact of the Game cover.

Always refer back to game genre – how appropriate is the design in relation to this? WHY?

Always relate it back to the target audience the Game artwork is aimed at.
