Website Progress

My Website is still a work in progress at the moment but these are some images of what it looks like currently:

The Homepage- Following the pop conventions it has a major image of the singer to attract its audience. The font is the same as the Digi pack to keep continuity and a sense of brand. 

News - I am happy with the content on this page but I feel that at the moment there is something missing from it.

Gallery - I am really pleased with the photo-strip gallery it looks professional and allows there to be a variety of artist images.

Music - This page is completed, it is a main page where as the one specifically for the album is a sub-page dedicated to the new album. I included a previous attempt I made at a digi pack cover as the cover for an EP I thought this was a good idea as artist do usually offer free downloads on their websites.

Xena The Album - This page is also complete, I have included several key aspects such as the video, the album cover and also a way for fans to listen to some of the songs that will feature of the new album. 

Online Store - I am happy with the store as I have created a range of products to show the artist's diversity. I need to change the font to the brand font that I have used on every other page. But other than that I believe this page is complete. 

- I still need to fill in the events page. 

- I also need to create a Bio page for the artist. 

Completed Digi Pack

Here is my completed digi-pack, this was a big challenge for me as I hadn't used Photoshop before. This took me a long time to complete but I am happy with the outcome. As the software I used was new to me I am glad I spent extra time on it to insure that I finished it at a standard I was comfortable with.

Final Front and Back Cover For Digi Pack

Front of the Digi Pack-

After going through several different ideas I finally decided on this one. It is modeled of a previous attempt that I documented. The like the simplicity but the effectiveness. The black background to contrast the colour also helped to the link the back cover making it more of a continuous theme.










Back of the Digi Pack -
I loved this photo that we took on shot but didn't know how to make it more effective. So when I decided on the front cover it gave me the great idea to make the colour stand out against a black background.

Final Music Video

More Album Art

We have decided on a name for our artist that isn't the original artist's name Icona Pop. As a group we decided on Xena as it is a shorter more pop style name. The style I have used her allows the image to be used multiple times and keep a sense of how important colour is to the video. I used a grunge style font to keep with the costume choices we made when filming. It also makes it more appealing to a younger audience. 

A lot of female artist have the name of the album as well as there name on the cover but use a specific font to make their brand more identifiable. In the cover I have created I have chosen only to use the name to establish her as an artist. Although the name of the album is included its a lot smaller than the artists name and it also is usually less visible. For example on the Jessie J album cover it is in white font below her name and on the Lady GaGa album it is placed on her glasses but neither of which draw a massive amount of attention to the album name. 

Artist Name

Today we decided to change the artist name from Icona Pop. Here are a few ideas we had -

We decided on Xena as it was the most powerful name and it fits the genre were as some of the other names were more floral and natural matching the indie genre not pop.
