Evaluation Task 1 // Website

Music websites are supposed to provide information in a entertaining and engaging way. They are there to help promote the star image and create an online community or fan base. A homepage needs to be interactive and help to navigate to other parts of the site.

For our website we decided to stick to the most common conventions of a website, these included having a homepage with social media tabs on, photos, links to music, tours and news. Because our artist is a new upcoming indie artist we didn't want to have a website that was to confusing for new visitors. Having a website that is graphically interesting but not to hard to figure out is what my aim and hopefully we would have achieved that.

A homepage design that we looked at for inspiration was Tove Lo's:

A convention of a website is to have a photo of the artist (as seen in Tove Lo's) so therefore that whats I did with ours:

We have a music page on our website where you can go and listen to her music linked from Spotify this makes it easier for new fans to listen to her music:

















Tove Lo also has her music linked to her website fro Spotify so this shows that this conventions is normal of websites.

We have tabs and social media links so fans have easy access to everything the artist has to offer and the artists star image can seem approachable:

Tove Lo also does this and so do multiple other artists so therefore it shows that this is a common convention to have on a website. However, Tove Lo doesn't have her social media at the top of her homepage (you have to scroll down) so therefore she may seem less accessible then our artist:

We also have a mailing list so new fans can sign up for emails and updates. This is a normal convention to have so fans can stay updated with tours and merchandise.
