work diary

From further website research i saw that my website needed a news page which showed what my artists was doing and other news regarding her, in the websites this was a way to keep fans informed which creates a connection between the artist and their fan base. this is also an effective way of promoting new products such as merchandise and the release of a new album.

Another aspect my website needed was an 'about' page, this page has the information about the artist such as their background and what interested them in going into music, this is also another way how the fan base can feel connected to the artist as it adds to their persona and humanises them further so to seem more like simple people.

Work Diary- Taking Pictures for the website

Having taken the first set of images for the website I experimented with the initial idea I had of displaying a 1950's style 'pin up' look initially inspired by Rosie the riveter . using the tutorial below I attempted to transform the images which would serve as the backgrounds for the website, I wasn't happy with the result as they didn't seem to fit with the alternative theme of the music that my artist would have been. because of his I have decided to re-do this shoot but in a different location, potentially altering my subject's wardrobe so o look more edgy and therefore interesting. in this shoot I had my subject in a white top as I felt that the simplicity would prevent distraction from other aspects of the image such as the red lips which are a direct link to the tea cup marked with lipstick which would be present in the video and digipack as a potential metaphor for the artist. By doing this the result seemed bland and boring.

Work Diary- Developing ideas for Website

Today I drew up new drafts for the website, I went through my previous ideas of including a slideshow of pictures in the front page and decided to reconsider and change the home page to just be one simple image with links to other pages or ways to connect to areas where the album could be brought similar to that of Lana Del Rey's website.

 

I feel that a simplistic minimalistic website will appeal more to my target audience.
