The kooks Album analysis

-When first viewing the album, there is a very basic outlay of the presentation.-The text is in plain back and red

-The social group which this alum is aimed at is teenagers upwards. We can identify this through the slight grungy style of the cover.-The presentation of the band on this album cover has a positive representation because of the way the band looks passionate in their music through the photo.

-The text is in plain back and red which consistently follows through the presentation of the album.-The font is basic but has a sharp, professional look.

- In top left corner of the front cover, we see a rating of this album which gives the audience an idea of what quality music they are buying.The use of stars for the rating keep the information basic and simple to the eye. The language used is very snappy and gets to the main point.

-The artwork used on the front cover is a black and white photo of the band playing their instruments.

The use of black and white gives a minimalist look to the album but still creates the ‘indie rock’ style of the band.This photo also displays the appearance of the band, showing their acoustic guitars and ‘shaggy’ style of hair, which contributes to the indie rock style. We cannot fully see the expression but we can see that they are concentrating and enjoying playing their instruments.

-The presentation of who the band is sighed to, who designed the album and other information is not clear enough for the audience to read. The text is extremely small and is grouped close together.

-The way each song is listed is very clear and simple. -Some song’s in this album use the word ‘love’ which suggests that this band’s style is based on love songs within their indie rock genre.

-The photo used on the back page of the album is the same photo used on the front cover.

-The inner cover uses artwork of the band playing instruments and performing at gigs which gives the audience an idea of the style of band they are.-The photos are again in back and white.-The presentation of the photos are in a vintage contact strip style which relates to the indie style.

-In the inner booklet, we see the band addressing the audience with these paragraphs. Again, the text is extremely small and close together which may make the text very hard to read.

-The text used on the CD cover has the consistent use of text and colour from the album .
