I've been designing covers for SE's volumes, so I decided to talk about my research discoveries with everyone.

Feel free to agree or disagree, these are just my personal thoughts.

I can tell at least one more thing from "True Blood" -- that cover reeks of Assumed Male Gaze. To viewers who enjoy ogling objectified female bodies, it will appeal. To viewers who prefer women as active characters, probably not.

Very well done exploration of cover techniques.

True, that's what we can get from it, but what is the genre? I have no idea.

Thanks!

These are pretty good tips~! I would definitely apply this advice to a video game cover.

I imagine it would also apply to video game covers as well.
I notice that books don't have this problem so much, since it's a non-visual medium so the themes/genre are often the first thing displayed rather than the actors.
Huh.
