The CD cover above is an good example of indie rock because of the images that are used to create the cover and the layout of how everything on the CD cover is layed out on the page and the type of font type,size is used to convey the target audience for the CD is, the type of audience they are trying to convey by laying out everything on the CD cover.

The colours that are used on the CD cover to convey the target audience is a dark background so they chose black, this is to convey their target audience because the band is an indie rock band and to show this they have use the colour black and this repirsents rock because rock is known as an dark music and black can be used to shown this, this conveys the audience because the colour shows to the audience that the album is targeted to an range of people both male and female and that they are at any age and are interested in rock. The colour black used for the background is an good colour because it enables the main image that is placed in the centre of the cover to stand out more because the image is bright blue and the black enables the image to stand out, this enables the the CD cover to be eye catching for the their target audience. The colours used are bright blue for the centre image and bright white for the title and this enables the CD cover to be more eye catching for people to see when they walk past and see the cover from the corner of their eye.

The layout for this CD cover is an basic layout because the band is indie rock, indie rock is known as an youth music, through the way that they are dressed and through the type of music that they play. The layout for the CD cover is one image that is a colour blue and is a bright colour and is placed in the centre of the CD cover, this enables the CD cover the stand out because the image is an large image and due to the colours contrast the image makes the cover eye catching, the image placed in the centre of the cover allows it to be the first thing that the target audience see's when they get walk past the and see the cover. The title of the album is an self title and is placed at the bottom of the CD cover, this enables the target to be the second thing to see because if the title was larger than the image many people would just discard it because typically the image is larger than the title. The colour is white which makes it stand out so when the target audience walks past the cover and see the image they would be engaged so when they see the title they would be more interested than if the title was larger than the image.

The CD cover title is placed at the bottom of the CD cover and is bright white to make it stand out from the background colour. The title font size would be around 20 onwards and that makes the title a large and this would enable the target audience to read what band sings the songs and what the title is, the font type is a block type font because all the latters have straight letters and are bold and this repirsents youth because you would young adults write title for different things in block letters.
