ELEMENT – Value: Low Contrast
Describing FORM: What is the specific communicative strategy? Where is it found?
A low contrast design employs values that are close together on the value scale.
We can see that the color gray is the main theme in the picture, and it makes the character and the background as they are one part.
Discussing CONTENT: What does it communicate?
From its name, Dark Souls II is game that emerges in dark environment with vigorous beasts to encounter. The atmosphere that the low contrast create is creepy and spooky yet calm and ridiculously quiet.
The character seems to be one with the environment from how much it is familiar with the struggles ahead.
