The Hitman text is targeted at males who prefer playing action games and for people who own a play station 2 games console. The game is rated 18 and over, which shows that this game may contain blood gore and violence. The cover of the game has a central image of a half dressed female with a gun shot in her head.
This heading is ironic, as it says ‘Beautifully Executed’. This copy is ironic, as it connotes the female as a beautiful person but executed, this related to the gun shot to her head, the bruises on her face and the fact she is half naked. This shows she either has been raped or has been murdered. The colour of the game cover had one main colour, which is red. Red connotes love, blood and violence, and this is exactly what the game cover contains.
The love connotes to the sexy image of the women lying, and the blood and violence links to the gun shot and her damages to her body. The front cover of the game makes women feel inferior and link to her being a sex object. Within the game her role may have been as a female prostitute and she could have been beaten up by her pimp, this could affect players mentally, as they may give the same representation of females in reality as in the game. The text also raises enigma codes as it leaves mystery to the audience wondering; why she was shot? Why she was executed?
