Website contribution


As i had the main job of editing the music video, Rosie started off editing the website in order to get things done efficiently. Once i had finished we swapped she started the colour grading and i finished and improved the website.

Firstly i took a look at the font that had been used on the banner, one of the main things i noticed is that the particular font that was used is not available in Photoshop or Microsoft word, this meant that our digi-pack would not link to the website, in order to solve this i created a font in Photoshop then captured it and placed in on to the banner of the website. I kept the colour scheme the same and everything else that had been done was consistent so i started to fill the empty space.

Down the right hand side of the website i decided to add 'Tour Dates' this is something that is very common on websites and would be needed. As Simon Stirling is a unsigned artist i had to ensure that the locations i picked where suitable. Again i made sure the font and colour scheme was consistent.


I then had a thought that adding a gallery at the bottom of the page would be interesting and something interactive for the audience to look at. I gathered photos that had already been taken and i got Rosie to take some new ones of me, the artist, and then added them to a turing galley.  



There was a small section down the left hand side of the website that needed to be filled, after looking at the digi-pack, music video and rest of the website i decided to incorporate the frame. We decided to use the frame as it shows the artist looking at himself, finding who he is and being free this is the message we was trying to sell. To start with i added a small bio and then placed it inside the same frame that was used within digi-pack. The colour of the  frame ties in with the colour scheme of e website so it looked eye-catching when all together.



Also down the left hand side i decided to add in the front cover of the album cover, this is to promote and sell the latest album that Simon will be releasing, most artist (if they have a new one out) will add and promote the album on their website, adding text explaining that it is the latest album.
