Now that I have my artist for the current DP3 project, I have started some research into the sort of theme I should follow for their website. After a meeting with Bitter Strings, they identified some key points that they wanted to incorporate into the website.
1- Pages
- Home page with a brief introduction.
- About page with a brief introduction on the band as a whole, then individual information.
- Media page with their videos and photoshoot images.
- Gig page with a list of their upcoming events.
- Contact page with clear links to their social networking sites and a form to contact them.
2 - Colour scheme & theme
- The band stressed that they want an old, vintage sort of feel but the website needs to be very simple. Not too over crowded with information or pictures and be straight to the point.
- Brown, cream and orange will be the main colours with orange being the colour used for impact.
- Old paper style background would be well suited to their desired theme.
3- Some key components
- Javascript image banner on the home page. This will be usde to grab attention & showcase some live gig photos.
- 1960s theme.
4 - Inspiration
- The band have identified that they really like the simplicity of The Vaccines website. This website can be found by clicking here
All of these points will be taken into consideration when designing the initial idea of my website. I do also need to take into account how the website is going to look when it is mobilised. My next task will be to look for some images for inspiration based on the specified theme and compare mobile & web interfaces.
