2. CONTENT AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS
• A bright pink monster truck drives over the
band’s name on the front cover, and a yellow
rose and hand adorn the back.
• This gives an initial impression of a simple
but extreme style (in the context of an
alternative to reality).
3. LAYOUT, COLOUR AND STYLE
• Bold typography on band name and album title
– this is unlevelled as the vehicle drives over it.
• Use of white in background and saturated
black, pink and yellow in foreground.
• The art is very stylised (may use cel-shading?)
which links to the focus on the abnormal and
unusual.
• The camera shot is directly forward, which could
imply a direct connection to the audience which
would link to the genre of Folk.
4. Tone of Text and Presentation of the
Band
• The text is very humourous and
emotive, which aids in connecting with the
audience and shows experimentation, two
features of the genre.
• The band is not presented in traditional
images, which puts emphasis on the songs
and the characters portrayed in them, which
links to the storytelling nature of Folk music.
5. Industry Information and Genre
• The album uses barcodes, music label logos
and copyright information.
• The genre can be easily determined by the
deliberate use of counter-culture (not
conforming to current stereotypes) with the
use of imagery of the monster truck.
6. What Did and Didn’t Work
What Worked What Didn’t Work
• Simplicity • Could have
• Use of Imagery employed the band
• Use of colour member’s images
