The Kooks digipak analysis

This is the digipak from The Kooks debut album 'Inside in inside out'. It was released in 2006 on Virgin records.

Front cover:

The front cover features a long shot a wide shot of the whole band playing their instruments. They are in a white room and they are all wearing dark clothing which makes them stand out against their background. They all have scruffy hair cuts and are wearing casual clothing which represents them as a band and their genre. They all also look really relaxed which could represent them and their music. The title is the only thing in colour, it as at the top in the centre and is in red. The red could connote a couple of things. It could connote love and their love for the music and the band, or it could connote their passion for the music.

Back cover:
The back cover has a very similar image to front cover only it is taken from a slightly different angle and is slightly blured. It has the conventional track titles and length of the song. The text is in black to make it stand out against the white background. It also has the conventional bar code and credits on the right hand side.

Spine:
The spine is in red and features the name of the band and the album title in black and white font. The record labels name is also on the spine, this is to promote them and make the institution recognisable.

Disc:
The disc is in red which connote a number of things from love and passion to danger. The hole in the CD is an used as an 'O' in the artists name and the rest of their name is in black font which stands out against the red background. The album title is in a white font which also stands out against the red disc.
