Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are in their final months of their contacts, will they sign? It is no secret that Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are in their final months of their contracts at Arsenal, the whole of the football world wont shut up about it.

Will Manchester City Go Unbeaten? The start of the 2017/18 season has been very impressive for City, we are seventeen games in and they are yet to lose a game.

Antonio Conte moved to Chelsea from The Italy national team during the summer after The Euros. He is on the verge of possibly winning the Premier League as well as the FA cup.  He is of course a fantastic couch who sets his team up to play a 3-4-2-1 formation. He has installed his philosophy of defensive but counter attacking football into his team and now they sit top of the league five points clear from second place Spurs.

Standing in his way of winning the double is Arsenal who beat Manchester City on the 23rd of April to book themselves place in the final. Both teams have beaten each other once this season with Arsenal beating Chelsea 3-0 at The Emirates in September. Whilst Chelsea went on to get retribution with a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge in early February. With a London derby final in the horizons, it definitely beckons to be a tasty and exciting affair. A lot has been said about how Conte wants Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, as he will be in his final year of contract at Arsenal. However, I highly doubt that Wenger would sell Sanchez to a rival so Conte can keep dreaming.

Antonio Conte has brought this new formation to the Premier League, which we have never seen played here. It’s almost refreshing to see, and now the likes of Spurs and Arsenal are attempting this 3-4-2-1 formation during the season, more recently Arsenal against Middlesbrough. You could possibly even claim that he has revolutionised the formation, he doesn’t play a traditional wing back, he plays Victor Moses who was a winger.

It is safe to say that Chelsea have been the best team in the Premier League this season, and it is all down to Antonio Conte. In the beginning of the season, they lost two in a row and he changed up the formation to suit the different players which meant the likes of Hazard and Diego Costa could shine. A massive shout out goes to the PFA player of the year Ngolo Kante who is going to go on to win his second premier league medal in two years.  He is an absolutely fantastic player and defensive midfielder, allowing his teammates the freedom to play their football. It is no surprise that he had won the player of the year award of the 16/17 season.

Chelsea and arsenal will both be up for the game, Chelsea with a double to win whilst Arsenal have some pride to play for. It will be an exciting game no doubt and I will be looking forward to it, supporting Arsenal of course!

Will Antonio Conte go on to Win The Double? Antonio Conte moved to Chelsea from The Italy national team during the summer after The Euros. He is on the verge of possibly winning the Premier League as well as the FA cup.

Many Arsenal fans have turned their back on their greatest ever manager, is all the anger and detestation justified? It is very clear to see that he has underachieved massively with the squad and funds he has been given. As an Arsenal fan myself, it’s very difficult because he all I have ever known at Arsenal since he came in 1996. However, I feel as though it is time he parted ways with the club because we are going nowhere.  It is tough seeing the likes of Chelsea, City and Spurs all get new managers and improve. I think people are scared of change, however if we continue to stay in this cycle under Wenger, we will fall further down the pecking order.

Ivan Gazidis the CEO of Arsenal Football Club did come out in 2011 and say “Arsene is accountable to the fans – they ultimately make judgment. If you are seeing the relationship between the fans and the manager break down over time that is unsustainable”.  This quote was from 6 years ago, and this can be applied to the predicament that is happening at the club right now. It seems that no one has the balls to sack him or tell him to leave. Are they scared of him? He is an employer, but he is walking around like he owns the club its absolutely ridiculous.

I thought it was time for him to leave after our 5-1 drumming by Bayern Munich TWO TIMES! We lost 10-2 on aggregate which is absolutely embarrassing and shameful for a so called “big club”. After that game I felt as though it was time for him to walk away, fans have been vocal for a couple seasons now asking for his departure. Every press conference, journalists ask him about the “Wenger Out” group and he so easily dismisses them thinking they’re a minority but little does he know, more fans want him to leave. It’s as though he is completely naive to the whole situation, he should know when enough is enough and he just won’t let go. Whilst the club sit back watching some of the best managers in the world leave for other clubs. Overall, Wenger should just to the right thing and leave and put everyone including himself out of this misery. It is tough watching Arsenal these days because it’s not enjoyable anymore, he is majorly underachieving with this club.

Is it time Arsene Wenger stepped down? Many Arsenal fans have turned their back on their greatest ever manager, is all the anger and detestation justified?

The Rise of AS Monaco

The Rise of AS Monaco

AS Monaco have been the biggest surprise of the season, especially after their emphatic win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter final of the Champions League. The aggregate at the end of both legs being 6-3 to the French side. This will be the first time they will be in the semi-final of the Champions League in their history. All credit goes to their incredible manager Jardim, who has created…

This is short response of what an audience member thinks about our album advert, overall she was thoroughly impressed and thought the colours and the image was just right.

[najmajama123-blog]

This is a short video of a response to mine and my group's digipack. This woman would come under the bracket of our target audience and she is also a fan of the RnB genre, therefore she has some knowledge about the genre.

[najmajama123-blog]

Audience feedback was crucial for the success of our products, huge amount of changes were made to make sure there was some kind of similarties between the three products. We intergrated the colour gold more to make our products and artist more identifiable for our audience. We used the selected images due to the fact that we felt as if they was the most appropriate images to use throughout our digipak, the body language and poses in each picture is a very typical and generic convention.

[najmajama123-blog]

This photo is the new digipack for the album of our artist G-Banza. We kept the colour theme throughout the digipak the same, this makes it more identifiable and acknowledgeable for the primary audience through keeping the synergy from our album advertisement and music video. We used the selected images due to the fact that we felt as if they was the most appropriate images to use throughout our digipak, the body language and poses in each picture is a very typical and generic convention. It tends to be seen on a large majority of media products such as music videos, digipaks and album advertisement that appear in.

[najmajama123-blog]

These two images are the two attempts that were made to create a digipack that kept the synergy of the other ancillary products. The feedback we got was that changes had to made regarding the font and the images.

Here is a image of our previous digipak we decided to make a few adjustments to the 1st digipak due to the fact that our primary audience felt that the digipak didn’t really match and correlate with the album advertisement we took in their feedback and made adjustments.

[najmajama123-blog]

This is the final music advert we made for our artist G-Banza. After recieivng some criticism changes were made to keep the synergy of our ancillary products.

Here is our final advert for the artist G-Banza. We made sure to take in the feedback we were given by our peers and apply it to our final product. As you can see, the font, main photo and writing has been changed/adjusted to link better to the digipack.

[najmajama123-blog]

After carefully considering our primary audiences we decided to remove the boarder which was located under previously,the font style which is used is San-serif and the colour is gold due to deciding to match it with the chain/necklace the artist is wearing,this is the process so far of the album advertisement. 

I decided to get rid of the boarder as I felt it restricted the image. I added the fonts that I had picked out for the advert and picked the colour for the G-Banza by picking out a shade from the gold chain. I am happy with progress so far and will continue to add to the advert until we feel it will appeal to are target audience.

[najmajama123-blog]

These two fonts were used for our poster, the fonts are typical of the RnB genre and they portray wealth and prosperity. The cursive font correlates with the name of the song 'Just a Dream'.

These were the two fonts I decided looked best with the advert. The G-Banza is simple yet bold and strong, similar to the artist we are trying to promote. It captures the artist as a person. With Just a dream, it coheres with the idea of dreaming and fairy tales, the sans serif elegance contrasts with the bold font of the artist’s name. We wanted this contrast to show that no matter who you are, everyone dreams and dreams can become a reality; just like G-Banza. We hope this sense of hope added to the advert will be appealing to our target audience.

Channel 4 did research on UK tribes, and my group and I found that the Urban category links to our music video. This is because the urban tribe consists of different people with different psychographics. The 'Get Paid Crew' symbolises the male protagonist, G-Banza whilst the 'Styler' highlights the characteristics of the female in our music video.

The urban tribe described on this page reflects the characters within our music video. The “Styler” demonstrates the female protagonist and the “Get Paid Crew” demonstrates the male protagonist, G-Banza.

One of the locations we used to shoot our music video was Primrose Hill, its a huge park located in the Camden borough. As you can see it has a beautiful skyline which we wanted to incorporate into our music video. This location has been used by artists like Krept and Konan and Yungen, who are well known for creating hip hop and RnB music, therefore we thought it would be a good idea to also shoot some scenes in this setting.

One of the locations we intend on using for our music video was Primrose Hill this is a small park which is located in the borough of Camden, it is located right next to Chalk the small urban district of northwest London. Due to being located next to Chalk Farm which is a urban area, it attracts a large numbers of our primary target audience in the summer period of the year, when people of our primary audience watch our music video they will notice the location and setting of our music video. This setting and locations has previously been used by UK Hip-Hop artist Krept and Konan and Yungen for their music video “Too Young”.

This is a page dedicated to the history of the RnB genre, it highlights the origins of the genre and many famous and successful artists who produced music for this specific genre.  

Here is another page of research into the history of RnB. It includes where the genre originated from and famous artists that would fall under this popular genre.
