This document summarizes and analyzes the cover art of Rihanna's album "LOUD". It notes that Rihanna looks calm yet passionate on the cover. Her red hair and lips connote romance and femininity. The title "LOUD" is written in a subtle white color that stands out against Rihanna's face, contrasting somewhat with the bold image. The large interior image conveys emotion through color and Rihanna's seductive pose lying on roses, which could represent weakness or appeal to male audiences through sex appeal. Overall, the album cover contrasts with the title "LOUD" through its themes of love, romance and weakness, reflecting the emotional songs, yet the title reflects Rih

1. Looking at this image we
see Rihanna; the main
artist looking calm as if she
looks down, although her
facial expression also looks
passionate which shows
the audience that is
passionate about her new
album. We are
immediately drawn to the
boldness of both her red
hair and her red lips,
which connoted romance
and femininity.
When analysing the typography that is being used within this Digipak we see the artists name ‘Rihanna’
and the album name ‘LOUD’; these are placed upon the front cover, above and below the image. The
colour white connotes pureness and adds to the feminine and romantic background; the colour white
also stands out from the background of Rihanna’s face. It appears ironic that the title ‘LOUD’ is in a
subtle colour instead of a bold colour; however the image itself seems to be bold.
The large image inside of the digipak shows a lot of emotion through the use of
colour; because Rihanna is lying on a bunch of roses this could represent
weakness. The image could also make the audience think about the different
messages that it would be representation. Sex appeal is also shown through the
seductive look within the album cover, this could appeal strongly to the male
audience.
This digipak I believe is a
massive contrast to the
name of the album, as
the theme itself is love,
romance and weakness,
which is reflecting the
emotional songs within
her album. However
Rihanna is a bold female
who has a big influence
within the media, the
fact that the album is
called ‘LOUD’ reflects her
personality.
