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.
