Final Website

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. 

Experimenting with Wix

Official Website for Icona Pop 

First I looked into the original website for the artist. Their website is very different to their genre of pop, the lack of colour and simplicity makes the website very plain. The homepage displays the logo for the group and a video to their new song. There is also links to a blog, their other music, videos, live and merchandise. I wanted to research into this so that I could see how the original artist portrayed themselves and how I would do this differently. This also gives me an idea of how to utilise the website to sell the artist and also make the it more realistic to an actual artists website.

Experiment Using Wix - http://nicolasuzanneevans.wix.com/iconapopdesign

Here is my initial design, this is my first time using the site therefore I did run into a few hiccups but having experimented with the designs I am happy that when I create the real website I will feel more confident. This is just a prototype of the home page. I have used a completely white background to hopefully make the colours more vibrant. I may not use this in my actual website as it isn't very eye catching as I hoped it would be. The image within the centre circle is a paint splatter which links to the key ideas we have in the video. I have also added one of my ideas for an album cover to this to promote it on the home page. I want to work on the logo more and make it more relevant to our genre. I liked the font choices I made as it is feminine enough to match the artist as well as matching the genre of pop. It also is the sort of font used for soft grunge.
