Game Packaging
Grand Theft Auto V-
The colour of the title is white which holds connotations of innocence and purity. This is very ironic as the Grand Theft Auto franchise is widely known for being very violent and crime based. The colour of the 'V' logo is green, which has connotations of money and envy. These are major themes within the game, which makes the choice of colour very suitable. The expressions on the faces of the characters are also very mischievous and focus which gives you the idea there may be some mischief within the game. You also see weapons and sports cars which also has connotations of money and violence.
