Digipak 3 Miley Cyrus- Can't be Tamed

The front cover to Miley Cyrus' Digipak can't be tamed is a much more grown up, girl compared to what she was like before. 
In the front cover, the whole thing is very 'out there', very feisty with a lot of attitude. 
The background is very plain with nothing but what seems like a spotlight which is on her, giving our full attention on Miley Cyrus. It is themed with very dark colours- khaki greens and black which gives us the impression that she isn't innocent, but in fact the complete opposite. Her costume is very revealing, all in leather which shows that she has hints of country in her because of the studs on the collar however it is very sharp yet fashionable at the same time. She is looking directly at the camera with a very fierce and serious expression on her face. This depicts a very confident woman in her, not afraid of much and has that personal connection with her fans. Lastly the font is very bold in capitals, in a khaki colour in the centre of the album cover. The font looks very rough, not hand drawn but looks like its been stamped on, almost like a prisoner. The 'can't be tamed' album name goes with the theme of being fierce. The way that her arm is positioned also draws attention to her bare tummy which gives her sex appeal. 


The back is very bold. The font looks like its been washed away which gives it an older, more traditional look to it, especially as it is in black and white- matching the dark colour theme. There are no spaces, the font is so bold that they names of the songs literally scream out the page. It also contains the legal jargon- the bar code, the name of the production and record company. It includes special features that can be viewed on your computer or laptop which is even more appealing to the buyer. 









The CD is very simple yet effective. It is like a collage of writing, and the writing all together says 'Miley Cyrus Can't Be Tamed'. Once again the font is very faded and rough and at the bottom in small print contains the legal jargon. 









The inside picture is a similar photo to the front cover apart from the position of her hands is different. Her hands are on her collar holding her jacket which shows that she is somewhat fashionable and stylish. We see a shadow behind her which gives the idea of follwers, the fact she is famous reflects the fact she has loads of fans. She is once again in the centre third of the shot which automatically makes her centre of attention. Her hair is curly but has a degree of roughness to it, a messy look but still looking fashionable. She is pouting- this gives us the idea that she is comfortable with her looks and not camera shy. 





Lastly is the inlay photo of Miley Cyrus. This shows her in a different light as she is more sexy in this particular photo as her pose outlines her curvy figure. Once again she is look straight at the camera so there is that personal relationship with her and her fans. She is more in the right of this shot which makes her less centre of attention. The fact that the spotlight is only on the top half of the body shows dignity, yet a hint of sex appeal as we have sneak peaks of her skin- for example her shoulder and parts of her chest through her dress. The pearls around her neck have a more original and traditional feel to the picture and her hair is curly and long. She looks more elegant and its almost the other side to her, her more sensible side.

Analysis of Rihanna- Talk that talk album

 Rihanna- Talk that talk album cover analysis

-In this album cover the most striking action that we see is the smoke coming out of her mouth. This shows her rebellious personality, her individuality and her 'naughty' side which gives her sex appeal

- Rihanna is looking straight at the camera and she is positioned in the centre of the image which automatically brings the attention onto her. The fact that it is a close up emphasises her dominance on screen. We see no clothes in the picture which gives her sex appeal too as it is teasing because we cannot see any part of her body apart from her shoulders. Her facial expression gives a seductive STAR IMAGE of her but also shows she has attitude. 

-The font of the letter 'R' at that top left hand corner is very sharp and striking which gives her her own view to the public which is very different to anyone elses. The icon within the letter R has newspaper in it which we can read as a girl that is talked/gossiped about alot. Also the 'talk that talk' at the bottom is in capitals and in a very plain font which shows that she doesn't need to impress with fancy writing, as her photo is striking enough to get attention. 

- The fact that her hair is down and that it is big and has volume shows her femininity, and so do her lips as the light is reflecting off of them to emphasise that they are big.

- The whole picture is in black and white which is very minimal. The photo in itself attracts attention even with no cover.

- On the back of the cover the writing is in red, which is bold and stands out from the rest as it is all in black and white as i previously commented on. 

-The way that Rihanna is upside down emphasises how she goes against rules so chooses to do things her own way.

- She has a mixture of femininity and masculinity as she is wearing a suit jacket and a bow-tie with a cigarette however the stockings show her feisty side which is rather revealing.
