The Final DvD Cover



This is our Dvd Cover for our thriller sequence called Retribution.
I think it works very well to signify the thriller genre for many reasons;

The cover works around the colour black which is dark and mysterious, The font used for the title is very blotchy which could symbolise blood.
The picture of the back cover is of an empty street which could show that the area is unsafe and residents could be vulnerable.
We designed our company name and logo to go with the thriller genre, red ink is a suggestion of blood and death and matches our cover layout very well.
The main image on the front cover is of a man smoking, the fact that his face is half hidden can be enigmatic in the way that you want to find out who he is and if he is a bad guy or not. Cigarettes are used to symbolise an older generation and a more uncivilised background.
The layout of the cover is very simple which is also very enigmatic in the way that it does not give too much of the story away and leaves you thinking about what the storyt is about.
