Album Covers

These album covers show the difference between the way men and women are represented by the music industry.

• Rhianna's album has a full body shot of her, whereas the two male artists have just facial shots (close-ups). This emphasises the exploitation of the women.
• Another point that can be obtain when looking at the shots is, the men have power as they are not looking at the camera. On the other hand, Rhianna is looking directly at us as if she wants our attention. By the men looking away it could be percieved that they are too good to look at the camera or that they do not need to look at us to gather our attention.

  These images are an example of patriarchy in the media.
  
  
• All the album covers use darker colours in the background and a brighter title to make it stand out.
• Rhianna's picture is in black and white, around Rhianna's body there is a white glow this could be to show off her figure, as well as to show an angelic glow around her. This fits well with the title 'Good Girl Gone Bad' as she looks angelic like with the glow, but mischevious with the dark background.
