This is the front and back of The Strokes' 'Is This It' album.
I have chose to analyse this album cover as it is the same genre as our music video. The lettering of the album is block capitals and in a round font, it is very straight forward and to the point. The writing is all in black or red against white backgrounds. I have seen this colour scheme several times on alternative rock album covers such as on Sam's Town by The Killers. I think the colour scheme is used because the red catches the eyes attention and the black and white then simplifies all images on the cover to relate to the often laid back genre.
The image on the album of the cover is a naked woman's bottom and hip with a leather glove placed in a suggestive manner. The photographer said "We did about 10 shots. There was no real inspiration, I was just trying to take a sexy picture".
