Rapidly
moving forward, I understand the crucial jump to begin my attempts and experimentation
to create my first rough draft of the website. For instance, after completing detailed
and thorough research covering inspiring and successful artist’s websites such
as, Alessia Cara, Declan McKenna, Sia and many more my motivation and enthusiasm
to start playing and producing work is increasingly growing.
In
order to create the website, I will use the effective and professional
software, Wix. Wix is a cloud-based web development platform that allows users
to create websites and mobile sites. I have previously used Wix to begin my
practice, however I have been researching many tutorials on YouTube to not only
learn many new tips and tricks but to also stabilise my confidence with the
basics of the process to achieve the best, possible results. However, luckily
it is a straightforward software, allowing one’s creative mind to branch out
and explode.
When
firstly beginning to create the website, I was met with many different starting
options and beginner’s templates, so therefore to begin my practice and to test
my skills, I wanted to start with a basic music website template, however,
later during the production of our products, I will create my own template and
start from scratch although at the moment I am still learning and not rushing
the practice. I had many options to choose from but I made a bold decision of
sticking to colours of whites and pastel tones to link with light aspects of
the video. As I am aware and my groups intentions are for all three of our products
to link, so therefore when we have our next discussion we will allow and make our
products grow a connection through colours, layout and style. Similar to this, I
also kept the layout simple and basic, following a fairly linear structure as I
felt this was a clear navigation and starting point for our website; however,
this will develop over time. In addition to this, before I showed and sent my
group an update of how the website was looking so far, I warned them there is a
lack of accurate photos and links, as we are waiting until Wednesday 7th
to complete our photoshoot with Juli.
When creating the website, I spent time considering the crucial and main functions needed for my artist’s website, for instance, I felt the need to include navigation to music, videos, tour, bio, shop, contact and more. For instance, I understand I need to link up our music video, however I do not want to do this yet as it will constantly be altering and developing, so therefore I will wait until it is completely finished. Similarly, I will link more of SIOUX’s music and incorporate the photos we will gain from the photoshoot. However, I have managed to link tour dates of Bishop Briggs, the actual artist through the source bandsintown, although I potentially aim to create my own tour dates later in production. Similar to this, I have created a range of products for SIOUX’s shop, including a top, jumper and hat and I will create more in time using the useful software Photoshop. Lastly, I want to include detailed social media sites for our artist and I want this branch to play a big role within the website.
After
showing my group, they seemed happy with the results so far but understand it
will be developed and will connote more aspects of our artist as the production
process goes on. However, at the moment, they are relieved and are looking
forward to the development of this ancillary product.
This is the start of my website
