cover essay

I have produced a games cover called ‘Snowboarder x-treme’, which revolves around playing against your friends to reach the end of the snowboard race. This was influenced by a Snowboard Video game I used to play as a kid. This is stereotypically a masculine game as it is a type of sport, and to make this more reactionary, I had a female character on the front, who I exaggerated her features to further accentuate the masculinity of the game. Toril Moi’s research on the distinction between female, feminine, feminist categories can be seen on my cover with the female character in a ‘sexualised’ outfit with exaggerated features.
