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.
