I have researched into other R&B artists to gain an understanding of what other R&B artists use as their CD covers. In this CD Cover Cee Lo Green is wearing oversized glasses which fits into the conventions of R&B videos. It shows their wealth and gives them high status, which makes them seem important. The glasses are white and his shirt is is white also, this emphasises innocence and portrays him in a good light. However, it contrasts with the title of his album which is called 'the lady killer,' which suggests a not so innocent
There is also a really oversized ring, which is very sparkly. This also once again shows wealth and makes him seem desirable to women and an inspiration to women. The cd cover is blue and purple. Blue is a very calm colour and it emphasises peace. Purple is usually associated with royalty and nobility. Therefore these colours present Cee Lo Green as very high statused and of high importance. It could even possibly reference him to being a king of his genre. This is because he is represented as someone who looks like they are in authority. Therefore this shows representation of men as being very powerful.
