Neyo 1

This is the third album released in September 2008 by Neyo called Year Of The Gentleman.

Because this album is called year of the gentleman, it could suggest this year is finally the time when men become more elegant and mature. From looking at the cover we can see that because on the left hand side it is a bit faded and there are two bars which could suggest what previous years have been like and as you look across to the right it becomes more clearer which shows how much more men are becoming gentlemen. Also Ne-yo is wearing is smart suit and hat which shows he is now a gentleman and shows the elegance of what men will be like. The colours are all similar – creams and browns which again show elegance because they are subtle colours. The fonts used for the title ‘NE-YO’ is in block colours which could suggest he is bold and wants to stand out from the rest to get his points across. And the ‘Year of the Gentlemen’ is in fancy writing which shows that men want to prove themselves this year and it could represent how elegant they want to be. Ne-yo is also standing in the mirror which could show that he has looked at himself and decided he wants to make a change.
