Proximity



1. The characters are all in proximity of each other, like they are a team.
2. The characters are all together again, but Wolverine is in front, and in colour, so he is obviously the main character.
3. The X on the front cover is behind the 3 claws. Because this game is of the third X Men film.
4. The text on the back cover is all in close proximity in order to keep it compact and neat.
5. Small images of in-game cutscenes all close together in order to be quickly scanned over.
6. Company logos all in close proximity.
