Colour2

In design for posters and game covers, there are lots of examples where colour is used to portray a certain mood of the game. There are other factors such as font and composition too. There are many example in video game front covers. For example "Fallout" uses very muted and bland colour and tones such as grey and black
and this reflects on the post-apocalyptic setting it has. Mortal Kombat uses warm tones of yellow and red in it's title and has a contrast of blue and orange on the front cover with the characters. This is a really bold and "in-your-face" use of colours and also reflects on what the game is all about.
