CD Cover Analysis

My artists name “Lil Pimpette” connotes she is involved with sex and is very full of herself this is shown as she thinks of herself as a “Pimpettee”. On the CD cover her name is written in large text to connote she is very proud of her name and herself. Her text is written in gold with a silvery filling. This connotes the “bling” look which is quite usual with this genre of artists. Her name also has a blue glittery crown on it to say she thinks of herself as a queen or princess again boasting about herself. She has two playboy signs next to her main picture to connote sex which is again expected in an artist of this genre.

There are four photos of my artist on this CD cover. There is a main one in the middle which is the biggest and is a close up shot of her face. It is a photo of her with curly hair and a cap on. The cap connotes the “gangster” theme. There is also a dummy in her mouth to say she’s “gangster” but still cute and sexy. Her head is tilted to the side again to make herself look cute and innocent. There is another picture of the side of her head with a lot of smoke coming out her mouth. This again is giving the gangster look. Having a picture of the artist with smoke coming out the mouth is very common in the genre. This picture is repeated twice on both sides with another picture in the middle. The picture in between these two is a picture of her sitting down with a stripy top showing off her thin figure. The pink stripy top is stereotypical to a girly look. Again she a dummy in her mouth the to give out the cute innocent look.

On the back of the CD cover there is a parental advisory sign to connote that this is aimed at the older teenagers rather than the younger teenagers.
