On the cover of the DVD, “Eagle Eye,” there are a couple of events taking place. On the far right side, there is a plane flying in extremely low altitude adjacent to a train. This allows the observers to instantly perceive that the plot of this movie is some-what riveting and suspenseful. The colors of the cover are mostly a moderate saturation of blue and a small amount of yellow. The main characters: Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan, are pasted on the top and bottom of the cover to emphasize the importance of their roles. Scan lines are layered over the cover, which further identifies the title of this DVD. These lines could determine that the story consists of something related to computer technology. The scan lines, color, and the font has good functionality. The small proportion of yellow could mean that something dramatic is on the verge of occurring. The light of the train is beaming strongly and the yellow light on the bottom left of the cover seems to be some sort of explosion that is making Shia’s character evade the scene.
            The beauty of this design is the color that expresses a feel to the image. The shade of blue is not very vibrant, but it tells the viewers that supernatural things will happen at some point in the movie. There is an interaction between the two characters on the cover, as they both show a glance of fear and apprehension. This cover is giving the idea that hazardous actions are inevitable. Violence and hostility are involved as the audience will be at the edge of their seat. The image was photographically taken successfully as the characters have a fair amount of look space.
