This is a poster advertisement for on of Jay-Z's concert. I think this is similar to my poster as they are both advertising for concert. Jay-z is reaching out to his fans which shows emotive feelings towards the fans, furthermore, a lot of people attending this concert which shows that he is significantly established as a global artist.

Posters

A Poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and convey information. Posters may be used for many purposes. They are a frequent tool of advertisers(particularly of events, musicians and films), propagandists,protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original artwork. Another type of poster is the educational poster, which may be about a particular subject for educational purposes.

J.R Album Cover


To make this album cover I played around with the brightness and contrast of the photo on adobe photoshop . I then went to www.dafont.com for the font. I search google for parental advisory icon and added it on . It was simple making this album cover. There is also brand continuity between this album cover and the ending of the music video as the ending of the video was edited in gradient black and white. As a group we choose the name of the album cover based on what the song was on which was life.

Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys- Empire State Of Mind




Empire State of Mind" is an anthemic hip hop song with influences of electropop an orchestrapop. It features a sample of " Love on a two way street" by The Moments. The title is a reference to New York's eponym "The Empire State", and may also be a reference to Billy Joel's " New York state of mind". Jay-Z's former rival Nas titled a song from his debut album, Illmatic, "N.Y. State of Mind" in 1994. The song is an anthem to Jay-Z's hometown, New York City. The song also mentions NBA superstars LeBron James and Dwayne Wade and teams New York Kicks and New Jersey Nets. It states that New York is "the home of the hip hop", name checking Afrika Bambaataa, a DJ from the South Bronx, New York who was instrumental in the early development of hip hop throughout the 1970s & 80s.

This video is a similar to the one I and my group want to make as it kind of has the same concept. Its talking about a specific area and uses freeze frame shots in orders to represent different places and objects relating to the song. It is also shot in black and white. In this song the freeze frame shots are used in line with the instrumental we will be aso be doing this.

This video by South London rapper Giggs is similar to my video as to the freeze frame shots , and other shots such as the tracking shot. It is also shot in black and white.
