Grand Theft Auto - Cover Analyze



Grand Theft Auto is an action game, which is aimed at adult, which you can see from the rating, 18. It can be played on Xbox, PS2 & as a CD on the computer. Because the game is a 18, we know that the theme of the game won't be appropriate for children.
The cover has images, which seems to be characters from the game & snapshots on the back of the cover. 
I would say that the audience would be more boys than girls, because the game is all about third person shooting & car driving. It is also a simulation game because you can control your character and decide what they do within the game. This makes the game a Hybrid, which is where there is more than one genre for a game; with GTA having many, Action-Adventure, Simulation & Open World. Open world is a genre is sometimes called a sandbox, which is where a player can roam free and do whatever they want in a game. 
The cover suggests that the characters in the game aren't the nicest people & that the game isn't appropriate for younger children. There is an image of three guys shooting from a car in one, a guy playing poker and placing some chips down & a girl licking her lips. 
The title is a bold standout text, in white writing & the smaller title; San Andreas is in a most detailed font. This makes it seem like it is part of a series of games, because there is two different fonts in the main title. We can see that the title is the main object of the front cover & unlike other covers; there isn't a main character on the front because we can change what the people look like in the game,

  1. In order to understand our selves, we must first understand Car Covers. I really, really like Car Covers. Remarkably Car Covers is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that Car Covers is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. It is estimated that that Car Covers is thought about eight times every day by the aristocracy, obviously. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve.
