Good Girl Gone Bad is Rianna’s third studio album which was released in May 2007. The background of the cover is plain black with a white low key spot light coming from the bottom left hand corner. The background is very simplistic which portrays class and elegance. The shot of Rihanna is a long shot which brings out her womanly assets thus attracting the male gaze. The low key lighting also emphasises Rihanna’s legs which again attracts the male gaze. Rihanna is posed almost as an ‘S’ shape in that her head starts at the top right hand corner and her legs end at the bottom left hand corner. The way in which she is posed is alluring and sexual as her long legs and bum are emphasised. The low key lighting also brings out Rihanna’s costume; leotard suggesting that the music in the album are going to be Ballad based. The title of the album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ could suggest that the music in the album is about Rihanna’s life story and the trials and tribulations she faced establishing herself as an artist. The album name is behind the black background. This is useful as it makes the album name stand out amongst the rest of the album. Rihanna’s name is written in Arial font across the album cover in a large font size. The colour of her name is turquoise whilst the rest of the album cover is in black, white and grey. This puts a large amount of emphasis into who Rihanna is as her name stands out amongst the rest of the album cover. Whilst Rihanna’s clothing denotes a ballad theme, her makeup is styled in an R&B associated fashion, which could suggest that the music in the album is a fusion of R&B and Ballads.
