C.R.A.P

Wu Tang Logo
Contrast-For this picture, they use basic contrast using a black background and then using a splash of white. 
Repetition-With the earthy green that is used in this picture for the structure in the background and in the Wu Tang logo, the picture receives an ancient kung fu feeling.  This is perfect for this picture, considering the Wu Tang use a lot of old martial arts movies as inspiration for the music they create.
Alignment-In terms of alignment, the Wu Tang logo is placed towards the left of the picture.  This choice of alignment works really well because people read from left to right as well, the logo stands out more because it looks bigger coming from the left.
Placement-The placement of the logo, with the ancient structure and martial artist in the background is well positioned.  The logo puts emphasise on the rap group, then using the martial artist (in his dojo maybe?) show people viewing this photo that the rap group prides itself by using the unique style of martial arts.
Allen Iverson Picture
Contrast-The contrast is harder to see in this photo, however, some of the uniforms that is worn by Iverson are black and white, which is a simple use of contrast.  As well, they use a lot of murky colours which makes the pink and yellow a little harder to see as well.  The picture is mostly brown which goes well with the bits of yellow they use.
Repetition-They display many pictures of Iverson, two of them in fact are exactly the same just placed in different place in the picture.  Another form of repetition they used in creating this picture is they repeat the spelling of Allen Iverson’s name throughout the picture.  Also the use of having pictures of Iverson in uniform is repeated.
Alignment-the way alignment is used if quite different.  At first they have pictures and Iverson’s name placed on the left and right sides of the photo, which is good it makes it easier to view and flows well.  However, they place another picture of Iverson in the center and place his name in the centre which is kind of hard to read because you have to look at the photo longer to find out where the beginning of name is.          
Placement-The placement of his name and photos is well positioned, having them on the left and right then placing one more photo in the centre.  However, the placement of his name in the centre in the style they have was not a good decision considering how it was placed and the fact you need to find the beginning of the name.
Michael Vick Picture
Contrast-In the photo they have a black background and Vick in the Eagles’ white uniform for a simple contrast.  Then they use a murky brown on the right side to color they Vick logo, which contrast the green used in throughout the photo
Repetition-The color green used heavily throughout the photo as it is one of the main colors for the Philadelphia Eagles team.  Also, the Eagles logo is repeated twice within the photo, plus the wings of the eagle on the helmet, further emphasizing the Eagles’ logo.
Alignment-The alignment of the Eagles logo and Vick logo is used well as it plays supplementary roles to the main focus in this photo which is Vick himself.
Placement-Having Vick placed in the center is a good position for the actual photo, then placing the two logos to the side of him is another good idea as it still lets people know what team he plays for.

NBA 2k11 front cover
Contrast-In this photo the only contrast used is the bit of black used in the title and the white that is seen throughout the cover.
Repetition-They display three different pictures of Jordan (With the two transparencies behind the solid photo) which makes it look like he moving on the cover.  Also the constant use of red and white goes well with the photo of Jordan that they used considering the uniform is white and red.
Alignment-The title of the game is centered but it is at the top of the page which is easy to read and identify.  The other elements they use in the cover a well placed such as; the game content rating, the game developer logo and the game’s costumer rating.  They also have Jordan’s name centered at the bottom in small letters, usually this would not be a good idea, however since there are not too many people that do not know who Jordan is.  Adding his name and out the way is not a bad idea in my opinion.
Placement-The title of the game is well placed in big letters in top of the cover.  Then the other logos are well placed doing a good job of not getting in the way of their main selling point which is Jordan.   Placing Mike in the center of the cover is good placement, this is a photo that everybody needs to see when they walk in the video game store and see the game on the shelf.  As this photo is the main selling point of the game.
