When you're wandering around a newsagent's, what grabs the attention is a cover with a striking design or image. In taking Incentive's Freescape game Driller as a cover theme, Oliver gave himself a problem: to make it obvious what the painting was about, it had to contain recognisable elements from the game or the adverts, yet those were not action-packer, Driller being a more cerebral game. And of course much of Driller's power came from its peculiar 3-D graphics, which would be hard to recreate without straight copying. So he opted for the fish-eye lens image, a neat notion which wraps virtually 360° of view into one picture. |
