Video Game Box Covers

Video Game Box

Covers 

Some notes on a few video game box covers show the similarities and differences in the covers, mainly showing that video games seem to stick to certain codes and conventions, for example all of the title's are bold, but reflect the nature of the game for example for Max Payne they are big bulky letters almost that we'd associate to war or violence, Fallout gives us a feel of decay and that the game could be set in the future and a very large insight to where the game is set, and Uncharted shows large bold titles with decay showing that they are meant to look old or even damaged or knocked around in some sort of adventure. Another Big similarity would be the main character being the main focus of the box art and the copyright being on the back and the bottom left of the cover.
