The Beatles website, which can be seen above, is a good example of an indie-rock website. The website uses a scrolling banner to show the latest news articles, with links to other websites. The site features a search bar, where visitors can search for Beatles music, along with a merchandise store, which I feel we should try and incorporate into our website. This site also encourages visitors to interact using social media, giving people the opportunity to get more involved. This provides the ideal base for fans, who want to find out more about the band, and the design makes the site easy to navigate. Furthermore, the site uses responsive web design, so that it adapts and fits to any browser site, meaning it can be viewed on a variety of platforms, making it accessible to a wide audience.
The Coldplay website is not dissimilar to the one that I will create for our project. The website features the navigation bar at the top, whilst showing the latest news along the right hand side, and highlighted articles, including a twitter feed, along the left. The band's video is a key focus of the page, which is something that we could consider using, to link our products together. In addition, the colour schemes used on the website tie in with others across other products, which is again something that we could consider incorporating.
The Oasis website uses a photo focus as the banner at the top, which is something that I will consider using on our website. This creates a focus, and shows how popular the band are. The navigation is clear, and the colours used compliment each other well, perhaps giving a more professional feel that the Coldplay website. All of the neccessary information is clearly displayed, making it easy for fans to navigate the website. I will try to ensure that I incorporate elements from the design of this page into our website.
As ever - this your blog demonstrates excellence (L4 / A) is allaspects of planning. You are successfully using your blog to show development and work in progress. You are fully up to date with neraly all tasks and have gone beyond the specific tasks I set. You still need to develop a detailed storyboard (see my previous comments). Keep using your blog to record your progress during editing. I thinkyour footage for the performance is looking great - all downloaded in 5 hours!!!! Well done Bozzie - this is really excellent.
