The document describes and analyzes the album cover for Beyoncé's 4th album. The cover features a simple design with Beyoncé's name and the album title, along with a powerful central image of Beyoncé in a revealing but tasteful fur jacket and gold wristband pose. The revealing costume helps portray her as a strong, superior woman. The neutral background makes the dark text and her image stand out clearly.
