The Kooks CD Cover Analysis

Here is my CD cover analysis of the of the album 'Konk' by The Kooks. It was released in 2008 and was there second album that they released.

• The name of the band is in a small but strong and bold font in the top left of the album. It has been kept to the side of the album mainly so that it doesn't interfere with the look of the album. It hsas also been put there so that it is easy to work out who's album it is and what band sings it. By having all of the letters as captials it can be also used to show its importnace as well. 
• The general look of the album cover has the band mates across to the right of the photo mainly in the doorway of what could pressumed to be either a club/social place. There is minimal light coming through from the back of the shot. 
• The name of the album 'Konk' has been placed above the band in an old style with neon lights  but naturally blends in with the rest of the photo and looks very smart. The name of the album also has a meaning to the band as it is where they actually recorded the album. By using this for the name of the album it has now become a place for fans of the band to  make a connection with them. 
• The band members which are being shown in a mid shot to right aren't looking at the camera. This could be because they're focusing on something different or that they are trying to create the opinion and persona of a stylish band that has its own natural look. By having this as well you could also suggest that the band members are all pretty equal and there isn't one of that needs to stand out more to sell the album. 
• By having the brick wall in the background and the dark colours surrounding the band members it makes them stand out more and brings them to the full front of the album cover. 
• The general clothes that they are wearing represent the genre and style of indie music and look that the band go for. By showing this it will attact fans/audience members who like the genre of music and look that they have.
