Website Design

Existing Website:

Colours, Fonts, and layout

For the colours of the website we were thinking oranges, peach, pale pinks, golden yellows and whites both the match the style of the video and also to link and match the colours of blogger. We thought these colours would go well as it also matches the type of lighting were using in the video as well. For the font we went for something simular to Florence and the machines,there are two possible choices in Microsoft word called: Harrigton and Mistral. We think these fonts will look good becasue there script like and curvy. 

For images were going to be using a picture of florence and the machine and use images from the music video and CD. This is very typical of Flrence and the mahcine as she uses her album covers again and agian to both promote herslef and the album. As you can see in the photo above on her wbsite it has the albums main song video and the picture for her most recent album. We were thinking to do something simular to keep the consistancy and to help promote them. ( see sheet in folder)

Also on the website we would like to include gig dates and any comments form the artist to the fans like 'Nottingham was amazing thatnks everyone for coming'. Tjis will aslo have links to the venues sites to book tickets like, Rockcity and The Capital Arena. Will aslo have any inmformation on tours and possible dates.

On the right hand side of the page there will be photos that people can click and the main photo at the top will change into a photo displayer. We saw this on 30 seconds to Mars' home site where there is a different photo each time you click on the website:

here you can see there is differnt photos when you go on the website again. This is something we would like but instead of changing it each time you re visit the website, we want to make it into a Photo veiwer where if you hover over the picture the view will change and you can select the phot yourself. The selection will be off Live; concert photos, small gigs, Photoshoot and pistures for the albums. including the actual CD.

We also want a part on our website where it has information on the band like when they started, how they got together and finding her image. We also want to include album release dates and all information about the album like new songs and recent updates. This will be a news box.

lastly we want to include youtube and twitter. youtube will link to all of florence and the mahcines songs both live and actual video performances. Finally we would like to include a Twitter link to go straight to Florence and the machines Twitter lead. We go this idea from the Bilborough home page.

Another thing we really liked was the borders that florence and the machine use on her website. This ties everything together and makes sure its easy to spot what your looking for, in a sufficient manner. It also ties in Florence and the machines theme as she uses this bordering effect on her twitter page, her blog and her CD.
