1. The Layout much like the previous album cover I
analysed is fairly simple, not cluttered. The album
cover and album name ‘The Vaccines’ is
positioned in a headline position in a bold font
style. The font colour of ‘The Vaccines’ is Pink
which contrast nicely with black to make it stand
out. Pink is also a stereotypical feminine colour
which is much like the music of the vaccines as
most of their music is quite soft. Indie-Rock is the
lighter side of rock and the feminine colour
portrays that well. The image used on the front of
the album is taken at a mid-shot. The identity of
the girl isn’t shown is it is not important to know
her identity, but the importance of the picture is
the symbolic message. It connotes love and
romance which is also emphasised by the pink
colour used on the front. The record label stamps
are also in pink to stick to the colour scheme.
The colour scheme is the same as the one on the
front so it sticks to the theme throughout. This
album back cover shows an image which is effect
as one the front cover you see the girl from the
front and on the back cover you see the girl from
the back.
The conventional aspect such as the barcode and
record label information is on the back right of the
album and the album name is also the edging of
the album.
The colour scheme which is used on the CD doesn’t
relate to the colour scheme used on the actual album
however it relates to the colours of the guys top in
the image and the yellowish sky in the back image.
Also the colour is symbolic to the mood set by the
images on the album as the girl on the front is looking
for love and she is on her own on the back. The
orange is like a gone off colour of the passionate red
colour.
