The digipak for The Kooks album utilizes a black and white color scheme with hints of red throughout, conveying an indie rock genre. While the band members' faces are not shown on the front cover, their inclusion is an unconventional choice for indie bands. Inside, photographs show the band making their music and capture their casual style. The CD features the album title in block letters that overlap across the disc, intentionally linking to its indie aesthetic. Consistent monochrome imagery and a simple, readable font throughout the digipak tie the design together cohesively in a manner fitting for the band's desired indie image.

1. The Kooks Digipak

2. Front cover
The black and
white theme
alongside red
connote wit ha
rock and roll
type genre
something
similar to Indie
Bands.
Although the bands faces aren’t shown so
we cant really identify them the yare on
the front of this album something indie
bands don’t do often.
The font is simple
implying the band
are simplistic and
don’t want to
follow over the top
mainstream
conventions.
Because the band
don’t appear
interested in the
camera and are
focusing on making
their music the fact
they are on the front
still works within this
genre.
The background is
very simplistic and
Indie bands tend
to move away
from busy over the
top images.

3. Inside BookletMuch like The
1975 inside booklet
this features a
picture of the band
making direct
contact with their
audiences. This
helps present the
Indie style of the
band as it shows
their clothing and
expressions, the
band look a little
awkward and
nothing like a
typical boy band.
The top panel is
a copyright
notice from the
band thanking
everybody that
helped them. The
colour scheme is
the same to the
front making a
connection
throughout the
album.

4. The CD
The colour scheme
continues onto the CD
with a bright red
background and black
and white font. The font
is easy to read in block
capitals and the album
cleverly uses the middle
hole in replacement of
an ‘O’.
The CD also
includes the
record labels
logo.
The wording overlaps the CD making it
look intentionally messy linking in with its
genre.
The CD is the
brightest part of the
digipak making it
memorable and
stand out.

5. Inside Booklet #2
This booklet shows the album actually being made by the
band it follows the conventions of colour throughout with
hints of blue in as well.
The images
are shot on an
old fashioned
camera making
the images
look vintage
linking with the
vintage style
Indie bands
sometimes
present.
This booklet
includes
copyright
information
so the digipak
can not be
copied.

6. Back Of Album
The track
listing for the
album is
small and in
the top left
hand corner.
The font is
black making
it simple and
linking in wit
the bands
simplistic
atmosphere.
The monochrome style image of the
band can be fond on the back of the
album as well adding a sense of
consistency throughout the album.
The image appear more blurry than that of
the front and is taken from the perspective
of the drummer giving the audience a look
through his eyes making a connection
between audience and band.
As most album covers
this one includes the
bar code on the back.
