The album cover for Dookie is like a collage of drawings, the band's and album title and an explosion all in a cartoon style. There are multiple dogs throwing "dookie" and a plane being flown by a dog dropping bombs with the album title on them. The band's title is in big bright yellow letters that are clearly the largest thing on the cover.
The inside pages of the booklet are white with black pen drawings on them to show the pages as buildings and streets with different characters. The lyrics are shown as if they are on poster stuck to the walls of the buildings, this is the kind of imagery you would see in a city; lots of posters stuck up everywhere. This was good as their target audience at the time were mostly local people.
The style of the booklet pages reflect the punk, rebellious attitude a lot of teenagers shared in the 90s with the messy handwritten lyrics and the minimalistic doodles or punks smoking and bridges blowing up (which also links to some of the album's lyrics "Let's nuke the bridge we torched 2000 times before").
