The Lumineers - The Lumineers ( Front and Back covers)

Front
- The cover is both bright yet dark due to its appearance of inverted colour which may suggest that they conform to some folk ideology, yet brings a more modern twist as the two colours are binary opposites.
- Due to the lack of imagery, most of the audiences attention will be aimed towards the title, which is displayed in white, clear font on a black background which both conforms to the natural house style of the album as well as being read clearly, thus being easy on the eye and appealing.
- The photograph seems very vintage and traditional which is very generic within folk music as it symbolises the traditional feeling of the music as it is originally an old genre of music, thus bringing back its originality.
- The randomness of the image is different as many folk bands choose to use images of the band together or single artists, rather than a picture having no relevance to the bands personality or style.

Back
-The use of Roman numerals for each side reinforces this traditional feel of the music which is unique to folk.
- There are no images on the back which may distract the audience from the track list, thus more attention is shown to the most important aspects.
- The style of writing for the tracks continues with the house style which is white and simplistic which gives a relaxing image to the audience, allowing for them to influence the audience.
- The positioning of the text also creates importance as it is large and centred which draws the viewers eye.
- Towards the bottom is all of the information which is less important, thus being the reasons for its much smaller size as to not distract the viewer yet still follow the rules.
