My first design was aimed at presenting my artist as soft and sophisticated witht he natural and unedited look. By leaving the front cover so simple and plain, it would the album seem very classy. The unedited picture would make the target audience feel as if they're right there taking the picture of her and would therefore make the cover more inviting and eye-catching. Furthermore, the artist looking away is aimed to imply that she's deep in thought, thus presenting the album as being an emotive one. The use of different fonts is to give the cover a bit of an edge, contrasting with its simple colour scheme.

My second design was aimed to enhance the albums title. I edited the image and gave it a bit more of an edgy, dark, and essentially, immortal theme. The artists facial expression isn't as soft as the first design, it is supposed to present her as tougher and more mysterious. I havefilled up the cover more but using the parental advisory label and using Rihanna's motif rather than her name itself. This is because her motif is quite edgy and sharp so it would efficiently add to the theme being portrayed.

My third design was supposed to convey the theme of the album title too, but in a soft and subtle manner. Instead of a tough and more aggressive facial expression like my second design, there's direct eye contact as well as a soft expression, therefore making the album cover intensely inviting. The use of black and white with the image renders a perfect combination of tradition and modernity,
PLease provide a commentary explainng what you did and why as well as the effect you wanted to establish and the actual effect you achieved. Could you also experiment with colour to a greater extent so that there is more variety in your draft designs?
