Rihanna Album Cover

Photograph
The photo is a low angle shot of the artist, Rihanna is seen in black and white to make the album look sophisticated. Rihanna has been photoshopped in as you can tell because of the edging around the body. The way Rihanna is standing is showing she has power as she is looking down towards the camera. Also the way she is stood and the place were her hands are appeal to boys as the photo shows how curvy she is. Rihanna is in a white long dress, because she is in a white dress it stands out because it is in black and white. Rihanna has her lips open a tiny bit, this is portraying the album to be a kind of sexy album cover. Having her hair across one of her eyes shows the audience that she is hiding something which may be that she is hiding being bad or good because the album is called "good girl gone bad". Rihanna shows in her image that she is wearing sparkly dangling ear rings, this shows bling and wealth just like the album cover of Beyonce's album.

Text
The font of the text is very bold and big so that the audience know's who the album cover belongs to. The font is also in red, the colour red indicates danger since the album is called "good girl gone bad" suggests that she is dangerously bad. Also using the colour white contrasts well with red. The text of the word Rihanna is bigger than all the other piece of writing, the writing goes across the full front cover album.

Background
The background to this album cover is a blue colour, I don't think that this colour works very well with red and white. I think they used the colour blue to make the album cover stand out as not many artists have there album cover this colour.

This album cover represents sophistication and sex appeal due to how Rihanna is stood and how she is looking at the camera.
