The front of Kate Nash's 'Made of Bricks' album suggests she's an alternative genre as she has a small full body picture on the front as she walks up to the main focus of the cover which is a house- linking to the 'Made of Bricks' title. This is different to RnB album covers which tend to feature a close-up of the artist, or Rock which tends to have an artist or band logo on the front, this makes it clear that she's an alternative artist as she's been creative with her cover and branched out from what other genre's tend to do. The font on the front is clear but not bold and in your face, it's simple. The font appears to almost look handwritten, making the album more casual and relatable to the audience. The main house links directly to the album title, so it still fits the theme to the album.

The back of the album has the track list aligned in the centre of the page. The tracks are numbered for easy reference and written in the same font as the title is on the front of the album, this is good continuity and enables the audience to link that style of writing to the album and to Kate Nash as an artist. The way the track names are laid out in a casual manner makes the audience seem closer to the artist as it looks like Kate Nash wrote the tracklist herself.

The insert has lyrics to the songs on the left hand page, with the song titles written in the same font as the title and the tracklist, continuing the theme throughout the album, then the actual lyrics are written in a small font which is clearer to read, making it easier for the audience to learn her lyrics. On the right hand side of the insert exclusive pictures of Kate Nash are featured. This makes the consumer feel closer to her as it seems more personalised. The pictures again establish her as an alternative artist as it shows her to have been cut out and stuck onto another picture. In this picture she isn't the focus- just like on the front of the album, but has reference to some of the songs on her album, such as showing mouthwash on the sink linking to her song 'Mouthwash' and a skeleton linking to the 'Skeleton Song' this promotes her songs from the inside and shows her interest in all of her songs and that they're written about things in her life.
