Week 5

The quick visual analysis i'm going to do is of the Penny Arcade website Banner. The first thing that stand out is the logo it's big and bold so you notice it right away, the letter pattern also moves slightly up and to the right as the words finish making the initial view of the logo much more dramatic. When you bring that into context with the light blue color of the banner along with the pictures of the characters in the web comic you get a feel for how lighthearted the website is. The characters are shown with slight smirks that give away their slightly sarcastic attitude that is prevalent throughout their work. The last thing i'll go into is what the 2 characters are holding, a die and a game controller, which symbolize what the site and comic are mostly about, gaming.
