Rihanna - Loud Digipack analysis

Rihanna's album cover for "loud" I can tell that she is being secretive with not revealing much to the audience to get people to buy the album to see what she really has to offer. From looking at the picture we can tell although there isnt much involved, it was been well thought out. Rihanna herself has got her eyes closed and we can see her long dark black eyelashes which stand out however, the title "loud" does not relate to the way Rihanna looks in the picture, she looks the opposite, quiet and peaceful. Rihanna herself looks perfect, her hair matches her lips, a fiesty red, giving off a "sexy" image. The colour red is associated with love and passion which makes us think a lot deeper about what Rihanna's songs are like. We can tell that she wants to get her image out so she is known and recognised by many.

From looking at the back cover of this album I can see she still has no interaction as there is still no eye contact. There isn't much colour in this picture, the bold vibrant red colour has changed to a very pale which indicates her soft but still very girly side, the picture appears to have been washed of colour, to tone it down. The album looks very clearly that it is appealing to females. Instead of the extreme close up photograph of Rihanna's face we can see her whole body. She looks weak and vunerable which is a typical image for a young female but she still looks quite angelic and perfect. She is still giving me the impression that she is hiding away her "true colours" as the baby pink tint covers her body and face making the true colours hidden. The songs which are written on the right of the cover are written in dark red capital letters boldly emphasising them.

 

I also decided to look at the design chosen for the disk to this album. Again the girly theme is still flows through the texts, due to the pale pink rose petals which making it look very girly.
