Me and Connor have been adding to our website- we've almost completed our video section.

We decided to add in a quote from a reliable source, to make it seem to users that we're a well-established band. Additionally, as we haven't quite completed our video yet, we decided to create a image saying 'video coming soon' in different pastel colours, this is only temporary as we hope to have completed our video very soon.

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have added to our website, with a music section, allowing users to download the song.

For the purpose of this screengrab I had to condense the screen so all information would fit on- on the website, the font is much bigger. This section of our website didn't take long, as we already added the song to our music, this allowed us to just click on this, and it automatically uploads our album cover and song.

Hi everyone, so Me and Connor have recently just completed our tour date page on our website, and it's looking great.

We decided to do a little bit of research on local arena's. We didn't want the arena's to be big as our band is relatively small. Additionally, we looked on other small band websites to discover the prices of their tickets so we felt £20 was a perfect price. We also linked ticket master onto our 'click here to buy' button.


However, when Me and Connor pressed the preview our website button, we noticed users could not go onto other pages once on a page. We decided to add a menu button on each page of the website so users could click where they wanted to and go on any page.

Hey guys, so Me and Connor have started making our website for our band. We only managed to complete the home page and merchandise page, as we already previously made the merchandise.

Here is our front page which is very similar to our plan. We managed to get our GIFS onto the background, and the white, simple, font looks really effective on the sunset background. We've made the GIFS a consistent background on each page. Additionally, we managed to link the social media pages onto the icons, so when a user clicks onto the icon, it takes you directly to the bands social media page.

Here you can see our consistent background on
our merchandise page. We've added each product onto the merchandise page also with the descriptions and price. We liked that underneath the heading a line was drawn , it almost looks hand drawn which we feel is effective as during our music video we are adding a hand drawn effect.



I'll keep you guys posted on our website development...

Website GIFS

Hi everyone, so I've created the background for our website using different GIFS, Me and Connor filmed a few clips yesterday for our music video, which we have used for our website GIFS, here they are...

Merchandise

Me again... So, we've recently designed four different t-shirts that will go on our website once it's finished, on the merchandise tab.

I liked how simple this is and the use of yellow really makes the t-shirt stand out.

I decided to make parts of the band name in capitals just to add something different

to the t-shirt to make it seem more edgy.

We decided to make this icon more of a symbol of our band as it

represents the 'foreigner'. I really like this icon on the T-shirts as people could

wear it even if their not fans of the music.

We aimed for this t-shirt to be simple, with a paisley pattern on

the pocket ,with the letters 'APF' standing for

Ancient Pyramids and the Foreigner, we decided to give a shortened down

version simply for the marketing point of view, as the band Last shadow puppets

did a similar thing by shorting their name down to 'TLSP' which

works well on their merchandise.

This is very similar to the other t-shirt, however, this t-shirt

would be plain on the front and the icon on the back. When researching

other band t-shirts, hardly any had this kind of design on the merchandise, so we

felt this was a original design to have.  

I used Serif Draw to Photoshop and edit these t-shirts.

Making a GIF

Hi everyone, so I made two GIFS, however, I didn't make these GIFS using makeagif.com, instead I used https://giphy.com/gifs/kxwW71sL2o5Vu, as makeagif.com didn't work as well as I hoped.

Here are one of the GIFS...
via GIPHY
I used ,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUY0k4oTmgk, this clip in order to make it a GIF. The website allows users to decide on the duration of the GIF, users can also use a clip of there choice, either through pictures or youtube clips.

Website outline

Hey everyone, so Me and Connor have recently designed the outline for our website, this is just a rough outline of the positioning of where we want our drop down menu to go and the position of our bands name. We've taken inspiration from Two Door Cinema Clubs website too, with the use of GIFS in the background, instead of a simple background such as a still picture.

We used Serif draw plus to create the outline

Here is what viewers will first see when clicking on our website (remember its just a outline).

Viewers will have to click on the menu tab for the drop down to happen and they can then

choose what they want too look at. I like the simplistic idea of this outline as it will

draw attention to the GIF we plan to have.

This is what viewers will see when they click the menu tab. They will have a choice

of four tabs, either news, music, video or store, I think for our actual website, we may

add a tab for gallery too.

Additionally, we will link the social media pages we create for our band onto the social media logo's such as Facebook, so viewers can be directly shown to our social media pages.
