This piece of concept art was created by Rockstar Studios for Grand Theft Auto 5. This is the official pest control art work which was released in January 2013 before the games release which was the 17th September 2013. This game is an action adventure game which is open world and consists of role playing and crime. The target audience for this game is old teenagers/young adults gamers.

In this piece of concept art, we see two characters in orange appearing from a van. You are instantly drawn in by the colours and the composition of the characters. They are in the center of the image, so they are the first thing we are attracted to. The depth of field shows the buildings at a diagonal angle to a vanishing point. There is a plane at the top of the image with vapor trails to help it stand out in the image and allowing you to know that the game will be set in the modern time. This piece has a natural look to it as in terms of depth in the image. The image has high detail in the forefront of the image and the background pieces become very basic and flat.

The colours used in this piece are quite calm, pale tan, light blue sky. The image has calm colours but it is an image where something will happen that will be violent due to the guns being held. This could be done on purpose to make the environment look nice, but the people aren't. A lot of the same colours are used through out the image and this makes it easy on the eye as there is not a lot of different colours being used.

This game has been set in the current time taking influence from Los Ageles. Although it is not easy to depict from this image, it has similar street lamps to those in Hollywood.

This game is ahown as a violent game as the characters visible in this piece are holding weapons. They are dressed in pest control suits as they are appearing from a pest control van. This image shows use that the game will involve you commit crimes in possible undercover situations.

I feel that this image is a well created image as it uses calm colours with characters holding guns creating a contrast in the image. This piece makes you wonder what they are going to do, are they taking on a large heist or a small robbery. I think this creates excitement as you don't know what is going to happen and could such a scene feature in the game itself.
