Website Planning
Layout Planning/Design
The background of the page will preferably be dark with diamonds dotted about.
The title will have to be quite large and read 'Diamond Eyes' possibly with the logo in it. Underneath this I will have a subtitle saying 'welcome to the official site' to make it obvious that this is the artist's own page, and not a fan-page. Just over the centre of the page I will have an image 'slider', which will display 3 pictures, and have several more when you click over the arrows on either side. The images will preferably be promotional images of albums/songs/the artist.In the top right hand corner, I will have links to the social networking pages for the artist (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). |
Basic Layout Design:I will create the website homepage using a site such as wix or weebly, as they make it easy to create a professional looking site.
I have permission from the artist to use his promotional images in my work. |
Underneath the social networking links, I will have the page links (these will take the user to the other website pages). These pages will be News, Dates, Media, Bio, and Contact.
The lower half of the page will be split in to three columns. The left side column will have various Gig/Tour dates listed, and have a 'Buy Here' button and 'View More Dates' button. The right side column will have a playlist with several of the artist's songs. The centre column will advertise the release of the 'Nine Fifteen' Soundtrack, and have buttons allowing the viewer to buy the soundtrack from several different places. At the bottom of this column I will have an option for the viewer to sign up to the mailing list. |
