Game Cover – Statement
Statement of Intent
In my game cover, I would like to aim for a similar type to the well-known game series and film, Assassins Creed. I hope to achieve a radical version of this game, by making an attractive and oversexualised young lady. This is because Assassins Creed mainly covers up their female characters and NPCS, and are similar to the male characters. The genders are equally dressed.
In my product I will have one dominant signifier who will be shown as an over oversexualised female, London assassin/agent in which she gets recruited by the FBI to go undercover. The index in this game are the two countries that are fighting in a world war, America and Japan. The icons in my game are the weapons that will be acquired by the player, to which these are a sign for war and violence.
The type of audience that would consume this genre of game, would be 18 years and older, as the game would consist of violence, gore, strong language and sexual innuendo. Additionally the company that would produce my product would be console companies, like Playstation or Xbox.
Statement of intent
For my video game cover I want a bold background it will include the brands logo along with the company of the gaming manufacturer. I will include the PS4 logo along the top above the initial background which will include a desert with a orange sky and a pyramid in the background, this is because I would like my game to consist of a set difficult highly skilled tasks for the levels based inside of the pyramid that need completing to move higher up in the game. I will be using a female character dressed in clothing that does not sexualise her and she will be able to do the tasks efficiently, I want to do this to go against the sexist stereotype that women get from the gaming industry from being sexualised and them being seen as weaker than male characters.
PRODUCTION – GAMES COVER PLAN
Plan for Games cover :
- Front cover
- Back cover and spine
videoGame production
My video game cover is inspired by the movie Cat Woman and is mainly targeted at teenage girls, mainly 12+ due to mild violence, who girls who are interested in the DC comics and films. In the game the Joker comes to Gotham City to cause chaos and with Batman out on a vital mission, Selina Kyle must fight his wrath solo. In one version she will be represented in a radical manner as she will be dressed in smaller, tighter clothing as if she is being portrayed through the eyes of the straight male. Whereas, in the second version, Selena will be presented in a more reactionary way due to dressing in a more modest and practical way.
GAMES COVER WRITE UP
Statement of intent – I am going to create a video games cover which is related to the game FIFA, I am going to create two versions which have not been released yet, one of them being a newer version and the other being a much older version.
Media language – I am going to have the Dominant Signifier as the largest object on the front of my DVD cover and I am going to have a Anchorage which would be the next largest object. One version will be reactionary (newer version) and the other will be radical (older version).
Representation – I am going to represent the back not a lot of colour and mostly text as that is where most people don’t look and where all the fine details are.
What kind of company would make your product? What audience would consume it – The company that would make my product would be EA as they own FIFA. The audience to consume it would be people who enjoy playing, watching football or people who just like video games in general.
statement of games cover
For my games cover I am going to create a female character with a racing car as the story behind the game is that the she has to win the races in order to earn the money to save her father from the terrorists that have placed a bet on her to win the races.
For my front cover the female character will be wearing black track suit bottoms with a black tight tank top. My female character isn’t very revealing but intends to show off her skills and look interesting enough. The racing car is a Lada looking all black with blue lights coming from the outside.
My title for my games cover will be succeed to live.
Statement of Intent
I intend to create a video game box inlay product for a dystopian future style game. It will be set in the fictional world of ‘Blade Runner’.
The main image on the cover will have both a male and a female character (original characters) wearing practical clothing and holding blasters. There will be a futuristic city in the background and some flying cars that are in the film. The colour scheme will use dark colours to show the depressing state the world has become and the game will be rated 16 due to violence. The title ‘Blade Runners’ will be just below the centre.

Games Cover
Statement of Intent-
I will make a games cover based around the series ‘Love Island’. I believe that I could show the difference in covers between the radical and reactionary side of the game. The reactionary side whereby the contestants are in small, exposing swimwear displaying their toned, voluptuous, perhaps false and ‘perfect bodies’ contrasting with the radical side that the contestants are in appropriate clothing and it includes all different body types. This game will be called ‘A look inside the LI villa. The target audience of my product is for anyone over aged 12. This game will be made by ‘electronic arts’ as they produced sims and my game will have a similar layout. It will be able to be played on an xbox or playstation. I followed the style model ‘Love Island’ and ‘Sims’. My reactionary product will include attributes that attract ‘the male gaze’ mainly but also challenge the female gaze partly as it will contain both men and women in little clothing but the women body will be accentuated more and there will be more women that men on the cover.
