Final Website

To create the website I decided that it'd be best to use Wix as I knew a little about the site prior to using it. It's a very simple but effective tool to use when creating a website due to it's massive range of templates for all kinds of genres and themes. I went for something which gave off a sort of indie pop vibe and decided to go from there.

As you can see it was a little too dark for my liking and so the first thing I decided to change was the background image, this was to hopefully give the whole page a lift of light so that it didn't look so grungy. A long with this I played around with a couple of the tabs and moved them around a bit to reposition everything and make it fit better. I had a play around with some of the colours on the page but decided to just keep green highlights as I thought they were really vibrant against the background and so therefore picking out details to highlight was simple yet effective. I then customised the tour dates and album art so that it was more relevant to our artists.

As you can see in the end our site came out very nicely and gives off a very pop genre vibe. Obviously we could've gone with a lot more colour but, as stated before, when I played with the colours it just didn't look right to our genre. A long with this home page I went ahead and created a bio page, a media page and a contact page so that fans can easily access content and contact the artists if they want them to perform at their venue etc.

Music Video on Twitter

With the use of Twitter our artists were able to upload the music video there, this allows fans to view the video quickly, and then have the option of retweeting/liking it to share it with their friends.

Album Poster

This is our final version of the poster advertising the digipak. Using our poster research we found out the codes and conventions and decided to follow these closely in order to create a successful poster in order to get sales on our digipak. We decided to use a very similar style to our digipak in order to show that they are part of the same product. We made sure to add in the links to the social media pages so that fans are able to easily follow them for updates and news about upcoming tours/album releases. We also included a preview of the digipak so that when people see it on iTunes or in stores they can look at it and recognise the cover which then should make them buy it. We also decided to include two of the songs on the poster "blank space" and "shake it off", this means if fans have heard these songs they will be able to expect more similar songs from the album. We put the text "available now" in contrast with the colour on her jumper in order to make it stand out on the poster, this lets them know that they can go and buy it straight away.

Final Digipak

This is our final digipak that was created in Photoshop. Using our research of current existing digipaks we were able to easily identify codes and conventions like for example, the barcode, the tracklist and the record label.
