Walking Dead 2 poster

I have decided to create a poster for the second series of The Walking Dead, this game is the successor of the award winning Walking Dead season 1, and will be released in episodes and will follow the story of Clementine, the actions the player took in the first game and its DLC will affect your gameplay in this second season. The first episode of this season is called "All That Remains".This game is being published and developed by Telltale but the distribution is being handled by Skybound and will be released in November 2013 and available on Xbox 360, PS3, PSVita, iOS, Microsoft windows, and Mac.

Graphic Design Web Page

Web Page

Graphic Style
this web page is called "Game Rant" , a game review site, the graphic style of this site is professionalism while still sticking to the subject, which is games. this can create the feeling of trust, meaning that the site gives us the feeling that we know what they know what their doing.

Images
the images used show the subjects being talked about and again create professionalism, this also draws our attention as this is a sign of a good review, these images are related to the subject so would be most likely an illustration

Colour
the colour scheme for this web site is dark colours like black and orange show professionalism and creates a sense of trust, making us think they know what they're talking about because it looks like they do.

Written Elements
the written elements in this source show that the web page is used for reviews and this gathers a certain audience

Audience
The audience for this type of web page would be young people aged 16-27, and would get people interested in gaming.


Compare and Contrast
The graphic style for this website is made to be friendly and chilled out with relaxing colours like green.

the images used are to persuade the audience to try spotify premium by showing a happy customer.

The colours used here are to create a sense of relaxation for the audience and to friendly as well.

The written elements on this site are mainly used to inform and persuade the audience in a way such as to try spotify premium or to download it for free.

The audience for this website from people of 16-30.

This is a different style than one would find on something like a print image, with the print image it would be a lot smaller and more compact than on a monitor for a webpage, this means that not everything wouldn't be on the print version. but the colours and graphic style would be the same as it would be simple and friendly.

This style is similar to a moving image is that there isnt a lot of text to make it simpler for the audience to use and understand, and the purpose can be the same for both, to entertain.

Graphic Design Moving Image

Graphic Design
The design of this moving image is realism, actors are used to create this scene and have made a meaning for this movie picture.this can create any type of scene and is useful in review

Image

The image can show the main character(s), in a fight of some kind and the stage is set with a type of waterfall, this can mean a final fight or fierce words between the protaganist and the antagonist, or could be a plot twist in the story of the movie. the camera perspective of this scene is environmental/third person

Colour

The colours used in this picture is dark and bland but set the scene well as a superhero but gritty movie. this can create the adult feel of a 15+ movie with the story of a superhero, so this is a good balance of the two.

Written Elements
There are little to none written elements inside but through the film you could turn on subtitles, with the dialouge as well this movie has a moderate amount of wirtten elements but not an awful lot.

Target Audience
The target audience for this movie is teenager-young adults

Compare and Contrast
The graphic style of this picture is the same as the one above but less dark and gritty, you can also tell this is a serious moment by the image.

The image shows the main protagonist and some extras dressed in army attire, this shows that this may be a defining point in the film.

The colours used are dark and show a serious nature and set the scene well for a superhero movie.

There are little to none written elements inside but through the film you could turn on subtitles, with the dialouge as well this movie has a moderate amount of wirtten elements but not an awful lot.

The target audience for this movie is 15-38 years old.

The difference this sector has with a webpage is that this one is not used to persuade or inform the audience but instead tries to entertain but they still have colour schemes that show seriousness.

Graphic Design Print Image

Graphic Style

This art style is known as photo-realism, this is the style of a cartoon character/thing that looks real, the example given is from the popular video game Devil May Cry 4, which utilizes this art style very well as this game is fantasy but also has aspects of realism.
Images
The images used are the main protagonist and another character in the story, this can create mystery as the of character is obviously important to the story and creates mystery, pushing the audience to buy the product.

Colour

  The colors used in the Devil may cry series are used very sparsely as the characters in the games show darker and more grittier feels to the colors, but the environment itself is quite bright and well designed.
Written elements
the written element in this image if very sparse and isn't really much on this piece in particular but in the actual product itself, written element like text, subtitles and dialogue are well written.
Target Audience
The target audience for this type of media is late teens to early adults, so an average of around 16-24.

   Compare and Contrast
the style of brutal legend is pop art with punk, this creates a rock feel with a cartoon touch.

the images show a rock/punk/grunge type of art style and create images from stereotypes of rock culture ( guitar, spikes, fire, etc.) the same goes for the colour as well.

the target audience for this source would be an average age of 16-27, mainly a male audience

The difference between this and a moving image is that with a moving image there is a limit to what colours can be used whereas for a print image the use of colours is unlimited so bright and dark colours can be used.
