GTA 5

GTA 5

In all three print adverts, we see that the name “Grand Theft Auto

 5” is written in the same font thus making this font the games official font. In the first picture, we see a seductive woman in the centre of the cover. The woman is wearing a revealing bikini – as this game is rated 18 the cover hints that the game contains sexual content. Also, we notice that the central image appears to be of higher significance as it is bigger than the title – in doing this, the central image becomes the first thing the viewer will look at thus allowing them to decide whether they would like to buy this game. As this game is targeted at older teens and young males the image will attract their attention immediately. Furthermore, all the posters contain vibrant colours thus meaning that they attract attention. In two posters we see the use of the colour blue – this is significant as blue connotes coolness which reflects the target audience as they will want to play this game in order to be “cool”

“The scale and sense of freedom is so staggering that the initial wave of amazement never wears off”

(GTA5 PS3 REVIEW)

“A story that is not only what GTA has always wanted to tell but also fits the way people have always played it.”

(EDGE ONLINE)

Both of these reviews present the game in a positive way. The first comment reflects the images on the print advert that suggest freedom therefore, the comment and print advert go side by side. Also in the second comment, talks about the way the game is created in order to look like a movie. This is a unique style to the game and another reason as to why the game is so hugely successful.

On the cover of this magazine, we see a print advert of GTA5. This advert successfully promotes the game as the readers of this magazine will gain an insight to the game whilst also reading about other games.

This advert is effective in promoting the game as there is a sense of violence that keeps the viewer engaged. Also, through the trailer, we see that in the game you are able to live a much more plush life thus meaning that struggler's may choose to play this game in order to escape reality.

At first sight, this website looks like a tourist website as you see sub categories like”beaches and watersports”, “Friendly neighbours” and “shopping and glamour”. The website does not contain any sexual content and therefore somewhat contradicts the game itself. The website in my opinion is not very clear as the game is presented as a country. 

The game itself does not have an official YouTube Channel. However, Rockstar games has an official YouTube Channel page

This video, attracts attention as it is funny. Many people will watch this video and want to play the game in order to re create the stunts seen.
