The Hoosiers Album Cover

This is the album cover for The Hoosiers album, straight away from the font of the bands name you can see that they have a quirky public image. The title is large and in the centre of the album cover so it is visible to see. The centre is also the key part of the cover due to the frame around the cover which has an effect of falling or slanting into the centre. The centre of the cover is white with blue text, this links to the colour scheme of white and blue, along with the bands name there is the title of the album which is a contrasting font. This font is in upper case , and appears to be more regular than the other font, it almost looks like and old children's story book and this could link into the drawings around the edge of the album cover. The drawings are very creative and like Mika's album cover, it is interesting for the audience to look at it and find different pictures every time. Many of the drawings relate to the songs on the album such as the rabbit at the bottom centre which relates to the song Run Rabbit Run, and the rocket in the top left corner from the song Goodbye Mr A. The bottom of the album also looks like eyes and eyebrows which adds a fun element to the cover. The eyebrows could also be seen as a book linking to the idea of a children's story book. This is also portrayed through the border which looks like thorns. Along with this is the songs which have quite a light hearted and childish feel with songs such as Cops and Robbers and Goodbye Mr A, which is about a super hero which I will later analyse. The fact that the band don't have an image of themselves on the cover suggests that they are comfortable in the music industry, or , that they would rather have something fun and interesting that their audience can enjoy. This cover would also stand out from other albums on the shelves as the fonts stands out and it isn't a typical image of the group. The album cover is also available in other colours which is interesting to give the audience a choice and variety when they buy the product. At the top centre of the album cover is a heart which could represent a positive image of the band being loving, falling from this heart are three drops, each could represent a member of the band.
