This is our final design of our artists website, we looked at various other webistes to see what conventions followed through and with different design ideas this is our final product!
|
Home page
|
The home page has a header at the top of it is of our artist's album, we thought that this was the main reason of the webiste, to promote the album. We also have an
advertisement accross the whole page advertising the store page and where to get
the albums from. We also included a news feed lower down on the page and links
to our artists official Youtube account where you can also watch the music video and other relevent videos of our artist, we
thought this would be a good idea for fan interaction where they can openly
comment on the video, and make comments. We also stuck to a
colour scheme of red, white and black for this website. We choose a black background as we thought that the pictures would stand out and the red writing would be bold and clear, moreover we chose a plain simple font so the text would stand out!

Tour dates
page
|
The tour dates page is advertising our artists
"addictive" tour, we can also see there is an offcial tour banner accross the
page for this tour, we can also see the sponser of the tour is "nike", as it is
advertised underneath the tour dates banner. We can also see the dates of the
tour listed below and what tour company she is with, which is AEG live. We got
this idea from Beyonce's official website, we also noticed how everything on her
site was Trademarked so we decided to do the same on our site to give it that
professional look.

Biography
page
|
We decided to make a biography page because of
our research we done, almost all the singers had a biography page, telling the
fans about their life and raise to fame as can see we have stuck to the colour
scheme again but also you can see sponsors listed across the page. We looked on
Pixie Lott's website and saw she had her list of sponsors up on her website, we
thought this would be a really good idea to include them as it makes our artist
seem a little more interesting and might grab potential fans eyes. We have her
partnerships on there such as record labels and music and tour promoters, as
well as her actual sponsors such as Nike Loreal and McDonald's. We also noticed
in our research most celebrities have charities that they sponsor so our artist
is sponsoring war child and KONY2012. We also have pictures at the bottom on the
biography to draw the attention of our audience to the bottom of the
page.

Store
page
|
We decided to add a store page titled "Addictive"
named after the album, on this page you can find digipak artwork of the album
cover, you can also find out where to buy the album from, what
official retailers will sell the album and the option to buy the single (which
is our music video) separately from the album. We also made the album be
sponsored by ITunes, so fans can get discounts from the ITunes store rather than
paying the full price for it. We saw this on Rihanna's official website as she
is sponsored by a music outlet and thought it would be a good idea. You can also
find quotes we made for our artist on the bottom of our page and a reason she
made the album, we included this to make the users check out the whole
page.
We made the website using Macromedia Dreamweaver
where we was able to design the website and insert content and the edit the
layout so everything fitted together and looked good. We used Photoshop
and Macromedia fireworks to edit the pictures on the website and Fireworks to
make the website banner and the tour banner as well. I also edited the scripting
and coding to make everything go together when we edited the layout of the
website, which was a lengthy process but worth it in the end.
