The album cover ‘Break Of Dawn’ by Goapele is more of a sensual album cover specifically identifying with her genre of music- R&B intending to create for her target audience a sense of continuity; whilst leaving room to develop her music and change its intended meaning she still maintains a flow of amorousness. Goapele’s album title ‘break of dawn’ is written is a clean cut but also rounded and feminine white font, developing a sense of freshness; a new Goapele. The artists’ name is written in almost the same colour as the background which shows that her aim was to emphasise the album title, especially as they are both very close together. The significance of the positioning of both text are to symbolise a link between the close meaning of the album title and what it may personally mean to her; again a new star for Goapele- also as Goapele has been in the music industry for a long time, this album may be a way to re-invent herself, hence the album title. The background of the album cover imitates clouds in a romantic setting- with the overlay of lilacs and blush pinks; it remains to create a dream-like state and again relating to her album title, the clouds embody the time of day- break of dawn. The main image is of the artist Goapele in a powerful and strong position emphasising her bone structure as the light from dawn shines on it, posing as if an Egyptian queen- she personifies a very regel being. This majestic pose creates the effect as if she is naked, stripping her of everything- this album content may show her audience a new and bare Goapele. Finally her facial expression is as if she is looking into the distance, or even into a better future, creating an elegance sense of hope within her music.
