For my second entry I decided to keep things very simple. I understand that the key to marketing a game cover is to make it appealing on the shelf. I think this one catches the eye, and leaves the shopper intrigued enough to turn the box over and learn more about it.

Dirty Secrets - The Shadows of Pord follows a character through the city of Pord ('drop' backwards', ie, drop shadows). The main character uncovers the city's mystery and follows the normal protagonist story line. A game of deceit, treachery and guns. A combination that cannot fail!

The background photo is from sxc.hu and had some touch up done. Some dodging/burning and some cleaning up of the skin. The guns were also from sxc.hu with minimal modifications.

The rest was done in photoshop, including the logos.

I really enjoyed doing this one, even though it might seem quite simple.
