Research; Ska Covers




The album cover that i am going to textually analyse is The Speicals 1st album, as i am doing a debut compliation album for my band the madettes. This albu follows all conventions of Ska which are the black and white theme, a simple front cover as it only consists of just a white background and a picture of the band taken fom birds eye, which i plan to incorporate within my album. The band is also wearning sunglasses as the form of Ska came under New Wave and incorporated forms of mob-subculture, The band had begun wearing mod/rude boy/skinhead style two-tone tonic suits, along with other elements of late 1960s teen fashions.
The album however dosesn't follow album cover convetnions such as the song titles being on the back cover, as they are on the front as well as the record label. The album also includes simple font, and the song list suggests that it is amied at a more mature auience that the style of audience that i am going for with my band.
