1. We took
inspiration
from Little Mix
for this page,
you click on
each of the
girls to open
another page
with
background
information
and fun facts
on the girls.
We found this
was a
convention of
pop girl-bands
websites.
As you scroll over the more serious pictures of
the girls, a sillier picture appears. The same
happens on our page as well as the background
colour changing to each members distinct
colour.
We chose to have the images
black and white as it provided
a nice contrast to when you
scroll over the images.
2. We chose purple as the theme colour for our
website as well as our digipak. Having the same
colour for both helped create synergy between
the two.
Throughout
the website,
this image of
lips appears. It
is our band
logo, having
this will help
people identify
us as a band, if
the band name
doesn’t
appear.
Almost every artist website we looked at had a store, selling t-shirts, phone accessories and
more. We created these but also created love heart sweets with our name and logo on as it
associated with our name; Sweet Nothing.
3. Every website had links to the artist social media
accounts, album downloads on iTunes and Spotify,
amazon products. Any way the bands products were
being marketed or advertised was linked. This enables
fans to have easy access to everything about the band
in one simple space.
We used this text throughout our
website and digipak too again
create synergy. We chose it as it
was simple and easy to read. We
chose this after doing research and
finding that the simplest texts
were used within girl bands
products.
We chose white as it matches
the background of the pages
and it contrasts well with the
purple background.
Using the symbols instead of
writing the names of the links was
a convention we found. It creates
more space and doesn’t allow the
website to look messy as it isn’t
filled with text.
4. Having access to the band latest videos and interviews is another convention
we found. We put our music video and MTV interview on here which fans
can only access on the website. We felt this was important as we are a new
band so our video and interview won’t have a huge following at the moment
but for those who are interested they can easily access them whenever and
wherever they want.
