#The elder scrolls v skyrim pc box art skin#
Where Hunted has the characters charging at a downward angle-conveying a sense of strength and power- Space Marine shows a character fighting at an upward angle, as though he could be overpowered at any moment and will only make it through by the skin of his teeth. This one roughly follows the same diagonal as Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, but in a different way. I would never have expected a game with such a generic title to have such a nice cover image, and yet here it is.
If this had been a sequel to a hit game, however, it would’ve worked really well. However, when establishing a new IP, it’s considered important to make sure the title is clear and easy to read, so I understand why they opted not to do that. This is something done with magazines all the time, which also looks very dynamic. The one little change I would’ve liked to see would be having the male character’s sword overlap the logo. This cover contains heavy diagonals in both directions: the characters bodies follow a loose diagonal from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner, while the female character’s arms and crossbow and the male’s right arm run parallel to the opposite diagonal. The following covers are ones that I think accomplished this in the most stylish and eye-pleasing way.Ĭompositions that run along a diagonal of the “canvas” tend to look very dynamic. An effective videogame cover does two things: it stand out on a shelf next to other box art, and it gets across the general tone or concept of the game. We’ve covered the worst box art of the year, now it’s time to look at the best.
