Creating the cover

After doing my research I started to look at what I could use on the front cover that would 
A) Capture some of the feel & look I wanted 
B) Look current and contemporary and not out of place on a game store shelf  
As many of the images I used to capture the look and feel in my previous probably would not have the impact and clarity required for a video game case I decided to distill down the ideas and try and find objects in Formula one that represent them.
The first image I chose to use was one of a Ferrari Formula 1 car.


The reason for this is there is possibly no other better visual symbol of passion, fandom & competitiveness in motor sport than ferrari.
This image will be cut and positioned at the bottom of the case.
I have also decided to use a image of a raging fire that the image of a formula one car will be layered over. This was chosen because I feel that it captures explosively, energy & also lends itself to passion and competitiveness.



I will experiment with different colour layers and effects to see what will be the best colour for  the fire.
