Website development: adding last parts

Websites for in the music genre or for band promotions often follow a set of conventions in order for them to be recognisable to what their purpose is , and that is promoting a band. The easily accessible tool bar at the top showing the links to the different pages. When looking at the other website we found they are often easy to navigate around and follow the house theme for the band. The font is unanimous throughout the digi-pak too, the log in section allows the audience to get involved with the band on a more personal level. The font for links in simple as they have to be accessible.



Often the calender on the website it a big feature, the events for the band are key especially if they are up and coming band, who need to biggest following possible. The scroll down movement for the calender is easy again to navigate and allows the viewer to look at all the information properly.
We used the format of 2 colours the background black which is throughout website and the blue and green coloured text, these dark colours used tie in with those used in the digi-pak and the genre of the music.


This is a shot of the two elements together. Both feed in well with the look and styling of the website, and the band. The idea of the different elements building the website follow the different parts that make up a website. The website has to be representative of all the different parts of the band, I.E. tour dates fan club, new releases. All of the elements enhance what the website is for instantly. The colours all feed into one another and help to show continuity, the idea the imagery and the positing of the video will also tie in well with the website shows the different media platforms the Band Delphic are reaching into.






This is the final shot of the homepage for the website. The idea to insert the imagery of the band shows even more continuity between the site, video and digi-pak, as our video is a narrative and doesn't feature the band there has the be the most amount of Imagery use everywhere else to create the most exposure. The colours again flow into one another and the dark tones fall into the genre of the music by Delphic. The links to thew various social networking sites that the band also are featured on are at the bottom with the appropriate links. Again the log in section creates the sense of involvement for the viewer well and still ties in with the look and them for the site.
