Ciara

*Ciara landed in Atlanta georgie and ended up meeting Jazze Pha who then signed her up to the LaFace Records company and went on too become one of the many successful female Rnb artists, selling over 8 million albums worldwide and having numerous top ten hits, inclduing 'like a boy' and 'love, sex & magic ft Justin Timberlake".

*The costume ciara is wearing is quite revealing and sexy, this is showing her as a confident female artist who presents herself as sexy yet confident. The white colour of her outfit connotes both coolness and purity, white can also symbolise positive happenings, these connotations can all relate to Ciaras genre and genral style of trendiness and sophistication. The sunglasses also help to reinforce her ge eral style and quirkiness, also it helps to portray her as a cool and stylish women, Her style is unique yet sexy and cool, it helps represent her as a strong female artist for others to look up too.

*The movement and pose she is doing is quite masculine and challanges her stereotype of having to be a girly girl. Her stature and pose almost contradicts what she is wearing as her costume is sexy and girly however her pose is more masculine wiht her hand raised towards her face.. This could also represents two sides too her as an artists as the tracks on her album such as 'like a boy' tell the story of switching genders.

*The grey background is very simplistic and helps make Ciara the focal point of the cover, it makes her stand out and she looks like a confident and strong women. The simple layout and background could also suggest that she is a established, confident artist who dosent need anything else in the background of her cover, just her...portraying a very secure and self-confident female. The grey background also connotes feelings of coolnes and strong emotions, it is also a darker version of white supposed to symbolise perfection whihc is exactly how ciara looks on the front of her cover.

*The lighting used is very limited however, you can tell that key lighting has been used to highlight Ciaras face and make her the key feature. Her face looks like perfection due to the lighting and her masculine expressions shows a sexy yet unique artist, the use of lighting also will attract the buyers as the cover is bright and cosumers can automatically see who it is by the use of the bold white font used to higlight CIARA!

* I would say that the target demographic for Ciaras album would predominantely be women, girls ect, however due to her challange of dominant genders, her album could also atteact a variety of males. i would generally say that the target demographic would be males and females between the ages of 10-50, as the album can generally appeal to both genders and Ciaras style and songs are very diverse and appealign to all audiences.
