Album cover analysis of Beyonce-I am...Sasha Fierce

http://lastarsmusic.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/beyonce_i_am_sasha_fierce_album_cover_1.jpg

The colour and what it indicates:
The album cover is in Black and white.
I think this is done to show that the album is not a happy, up-beat album.
Her name..Beyonce..is in a flash of white through grey writing.
I think she has ued this flash to show shes pure and innocent.
Her album name...I am Sasha Fierce, is in black.
I think this is been done so it will stand out.

The positioning:
The artist Beyonce is in the cetre of the album.
This could show she wants to be the main focus.
Her name is positioned in the bottom left-hand corner.
Whilst her album cover name is on the left side of the album and rotated.
I think she has positioned her album name like that because she doesn't want people to think her name is Sasha Fierce and she wants her name to stand out more than her album name.

Expressions:
Beyonce has a breath-taking look on her face.
I think she has done this to show her album is breath-taking.
She has a simple close-up image of her.
She wants the listeners to relate to the words in her songs and her expression show they can relate back to her.

The Artist name:
The image of the artist name...Beyonce is in black and white, in capital letters.
It has two straight lines above her name and below her name.
I think shes done this so her name stands out.
She also has a small crucifix cross above her name which could show she has a religous aspect to her album.
For example, people believe in god and she wants the listerners to believe in her songs.
It could also show how innocent she is.
You can see a small shadow of her name that is reflected.
I think this is done to show her album is in the shadow of someone else.

The title of the album:
I am...Sasha Fierce is the album name.
It is reported that her album is called this because she wants to introduce her alter-ego side.
She has it in plain black,capital letter writting.
I think this is done because she wnats it to be seen.

Clothes:
She appeares to look like she is wearing no clothes.
There is just a close-up of her shoulders and face.
She could have done this to indicate shes pure and innocent or she wants people to think about what she is feeling rather than what she is looking like.
