The Design Brief:
The Purpose:
GamePlay, the game company has asked me to design a graphical game cover and poster
(the printed version)for their upcoming game called “Chronicles of the Labyrinth”. This will
be utilised for promoting the game and its features in both the game and promotional
materials like billboard advertisements, TV ads, local shops to be displayed and on social
media…etc
Client Requirements:
The client (Gameplay) has specified that their front cover for this game will be a poster
which is the printed version to be displayed for promotional purposes and a digital front
cover. The client requested me to include a backdrop, one 3D character, a logo, the game's
title, colour usage, meeting the target audience, and a high-quality image. These
specifications have to be met and displayed in the poster.
Target Audience:
"Chronicles of the Labyrinth " is a fantasy adventure game with elements of horror and
puzzle-solving and hints of sci fi. The game's cover features the protagonist navigating a
mysterious, magical, and perilous world, showcasing both the fantastical and dark elements
of the game. The game is primarily targeted at players aged 16+, who are more engaged
with fantasy and adventure genres and have the maturity to appreciate the horror elements
and complex puzzles. The game is designed to appeal to all genders, with a slightly higher
proportion of male players. The game is primarily targeting a global audience, with a focus
on regions with strong gaming communities such as North America, Europe, and East Asia.
The target audience includes fantasy literature and films enthusiasts, those who value
creativity, imagination, and intellectual challenges, and those who enjoy immersive
experiences. The game's target audience is tech-savvy and spends a significant amount of
their leisure time playing video games, often engaging with gaming communities online.

front cover of Hogwarts Legacy summarises Harry Potter's magical world, inviting players to

Unlike these mentioned games, Portal 2’s aesthetic represents sci fi and futurism, for
instance it features a headless robotic figure jumping between 2 portals, capturing the
essence of the game’s mind-bending puzzles. In the background, we see another robotic
figure, who seems to be either a side character or an antagonist of this game whose glowing
eye watches over the scene with a threatening gaze in a futuristic setting in blue and white.
