Website – Used, developed and challenged conventions of a real media product

Challenged: In my research I noticed that on many of the artists websites they had used an enter page. I decided against this idea as I felt that it didn’t add anything special. I felt that producing a home page that including my music video and album cover worked a lot better as I was able to link all three of my task together.

Developed: I used the idea of having my album cover on my website however I developed this as I had it on my home page within a slide show banner. This slide show included a head shot image of my artist emily and the album cover I felt this was eye catching as the animated effect drew attention making it the focal point of my page. This was important for me as it would attract people to buy my artist album.

Used: I used the idea of using multiple images as I felt that especially for a home page people do not want to be bombarded with text and images are a way of catching the eye.

Developed: I developed on the idea of using multiple images and added in a picture of my album cover in order to promote it. I also added my music video to my homepage so that I could link all three pieces of my coursework together.

Challenged: I challenged the conventions that Jessie ware used of house style. I did this because I felt that black and white wasn’t very eye catching and as my artist is a new artist the use of colour will help to grasp the attention of the audience.
