49) Analysing a Rock ancillary - The Kooks


The Kooks Digipak uses the central image of a medium shot of the band sitting down and playing their instruments which is also their element of synergy - the band playing. Their colour scheme is black and white with a splash of red here and there as shown via the CD, album name and design across the leaflet. Black and white fits the Rock genre very well as it is quite a dark and dull style of music.The font is very big and bold on the actual CD to the point that you cannot see all the letters but on the album cover it is quite small and placed right at the top with a gap between it and the central image. This draws m
ore attention to the album name because of the colours and the simple design is not too distracting so therefore the album name is emphasised. The ratio of text to image is not that much of a difference but compared to other genres digipaks, The Kooks have slightly more text which relate to information of what inspired them to produce this album, credits, institutional information and so on. They have more text as they are the ones who write their own music.
