Rihanna covering her face shows her as not wanting to be revealed to the audience and wanting to stay mysterious and dark and not revealing herself to the audience too much. This image also perhaps shows that she doesn’t wish to be exposed as others are.
She wears lots of heavy jewellery which also adds to the darkness of this album as it looks thick and heavy as though she is not someone to back down easily.
The R on the cover is a sharp shaped and that makes the audience wonder why she has created something so contrast to her previous work. It seems that she is determined to make a big comeback after being affected by some aspects of her personal life which shows power and and determination to succed.
The album cover is mostly colorless – (black and white) and this has an impact on the audience as it stands out from typical bright album covers and those of her previous work. Her previous albums showed Rihanna as being sexy, confidant, vibrant artist however this album cover entails a feeling of darkness with the black and white effects making her new album seem dark and maybe sinister compared to her old work.
The album title is written in a small font and it is white therefore it doesn’t stand out from the CD cover itself which could make the audience think the title has no real importance compared to knowing the artist and noticing the album
