The background is of what appears to be a leather car seat or chair of some sort which the artist is laying on. She is wearing a normal top with a image on the front but still showing flesh. Her make up is punky, with dark eyes and bold lips. With pink short hair it matches her artist name, P!INK. The font used is similar to graffiti style, and she has spelt misunderstood differently which is a phonemes. She has also only got two words on the front cover as well. There is a distinctive colour theme of pink tones with black and grey. The artist is making eye contact, with the camera so therefore the audience which makes it more personal. You can see she has a tattoo and there is also graffiti on the seat she's on. Got minimal accessories on, just wristbands and bracelets. I would say the theme of the album cover is possibly teenage rebelling. The image she portrays from this is as if she feels no one gets her, a teenager that is misunderstood.
RIHANNA - TALK THAT TALKThere is very little text in this album cover which brings peoples full focus to Rihanna, the artist. I think it's really clever how they have the album name along her wrist as if it was a tattoo. The white tiled background doesn't draw any focus away from the artist. The leopard print shirt could symbolise the fierce side of her. The way she is licking her lips makes her come across as cheeky or mischievous. Her hair is very messy and wispy which oozes sex appeal as it is bed hair. The camera angle is higher, so it looks like we are looking slightly down to her and she is looking up at us with her eyes making eye contact with ours. The album cover is very bold and striking and really catches your eye. Her make up is also bold, with bright red lipstick just highlights that the theme of the album could be sex appeal. The image she portrays is one of a fierce woman.
Music for Plan B is all about the performance, the outfit, the band and the positioning to name a few factors and this album cover just portrays exactly this. I think this image symbolises the performer in him, as it's a stage image, the title. Even the name of the album is as if it's a film or movie. The use of the spotlight on Plan B is really striking, with his head down there is no eye contact or line. The text is very within the theme of the image which is really effective. The composition of the photo is great, he is centered, directly in the middle of the stage which draws your attention to him, yet as he is looking down he could come across as timid which is peculiar as he is in a performance environment. This could represent two sides to him as a person, one the performer and the other himself. Overall it is actually quite a dark image, but there is a balance within the framing of the shot. The lighting is very contrasted, with the spot light and low key lighting. I think the angle of the camera shot was from a low angle as we have to look slightly up at him, which may represent the power he has as the artist by dictating what he makes for us to hear possibly. The colour theme is of reds and blacks and whites. He portrays many different images just from this image depending on the way it's perceived however the most obvious one being a performer.
Each member looks very similar in this, as if they are clones, with the same make up, lipstick colour, same amount of skin showing and very similar hair styles. There is five woman on the cover, all in the band. The connotation within this album is that they are all the same or very similar people, maybe thoughts on conformity and even barbies or clones. The font used is very thin yet bold, and the colour scheme is fairly simple, with grey and white tones along with a hint of pink. After studying the image I don't feel the photo relates to the album title however maybe there is a deep hidden meaning. They are all staring right into the camera, each with different eye lines but all looking towards us.
The use of the black and white photo of the artist in this album really draws peoples attention towards the text. The way the light hits his face creating shadows makes his eyes really stand out to you even though he isn't making any eye contact you're still drawn to his eyes. There is a yellow colour theme. His image on this album is significally different to the others he looks a lot more grown up, sporting a fringe of his face hair style.
