Final Project Idea

For my final project, I want to examine the covers of top selling video games. I'll look at a random sampling of covers in that category. Then I will code each according to the race of the character depicted on the cover. I'm interested to see what race is shown most often. This could be improved upon by noting the specific genre that certain races are more likely to be found on. For example, could Blacks be shown more often on violent or sports games? Are whites most prominently shown on fantasy video games? The rating of each game in correlation with the race of the figure on the cover would also be very interesting to research.
