Updating accessibility: Mobile access

On Wix, the website I am using to create my pop music website for Emily Heinz there is an option that allows you to change the website in order for use on smart phones. 

I have decided that I wish my website to be accessible on mobile phones, as this technology is regularly used by my target audience and I feel that this will be more engaging and encourge my target audience to use the website.

Website Changes

I changed the background colour on some of the pages for example made the video page blue while the outline was pink unlike how it was on my homepage. I still used the same colours just in different ways in order to show that each page is different while keeping continuity.

Creating My Website

This was the first draft of my website. However I felt that the colour scheme didn't show continuity with my digipak which i liked therefore I needed to seek change. I also thought that the back ground was too busy and the image I used show no relevance to my other pieces. The text I used also didn't match the text of my digipak again showed no consistant continuity.

Website Research: Ellie Goulding

When researching Ellie Gouldings website it was clear at first glance that her website was designed around her digipak. I thought this was an extremely good idea as it showed continuity between the two products through using the same house style. Therefore this is something I will make sure I address when making my website. 

Website Research: Kate Bush

For my research I looked at the artist who's music video I was recreating, Kate Bush. At first glance I was really pleased as she had used a vinyl back drop something I used within my digipak making me feel confident that I had been following the correct conventions of the genre. However, apart from this I found her website very confusing as there were no images of her as an artist and you couldn't really tell whether she was a musician. 

From this I have learnt:

Include images of artist

Make sure audience is aware of what type of website it is through either promoting my album cover/video or through page names e.g tour dates

Website Research: Ed Sheeran

I noticed that Ed Sheeran had social media links at the bottom of his website. This is something that I will use when making my own as I believe that social media is extremely important in today's society. 

Website Research: Carley Rae Jepsen

Carley Rae Jepsen:
This website has a clear layout and format that can be incoroporated into my website with a clear way for our target audience to be able to access it and use the website. This website also uses varied images and poses of the main artist througout. These shots are mainly close ups and focus on the artist. However, there are some images used on the website, from the music videos or those used on digipak covers. I feel I can take some of these ideas.
