1. What works well in this album cover?
- Close up shot showing the female singer wearing lipstick and eyeliner to show her femininity and relate to a teenage target audience.
- Text of logo "R" adds to the front cover's effect and the style is in a newspaper print and so relates to the title of 'Talk That Talk'.
- Rihanna's facial expression appears to be feisty, provocative and the licking of the lips is used to attract the male teenage audience.
- The font is nice and eye-catching as it's shiny and glittery and could be related to a female arge audience.
- The use of the tatoo is a clever, unconventional way of promoting the album although it could be improved by being written in a larger font.
- Mise en scene of silver rings are used to relate to the female teenage target audience as he style and music fit in with her target audience.
2. What does not work well?
- Slightly bland album cover; no real detail just a picture of a crazy looking woman
- The choice of costume is poor as she looks as though she is wearing a cow printed top which has nothing to do with the album concept or title.
3. Does it make you want to buy the album?
- No, not on the basis of only the album cover as the image isn't really related to the album title.
- The cover doesn't look very welcoming and appears quite "odd" rather than typically controversial.
- No as Rihanna looks angry, annoying and appears as rude.
