Rihanna's album cover features only her as the character, with red hair and makeup suggesting themes of love, passion, anger or danger in her music. Her facial expression looks down provocatively, possibly representing feelings of hurt. A photograph inside shows her lying among roses provocatively, indicating her music deals with sexuality and relationships. The studio lighting and high key photographs make her appealing visually and help represent the album's themes of love through symbols like red and roses.
