Wix Updates

Unfortunately the past week I've been unwell and had not been able to do any more work on my project, however I am now back and have finally gotten 2/3 of my ancillary photos! For the "About The Band" page I now have header photos of both Olly and Hollie, which have bee edited and placed on the page. For them I also have photos for the CD cover which will be edited in Photoshop, which I plan to put together next lesson. Jordan, the remaining actor will have photos taken this wednesday (as due to January exams he's been unavailable). 
I also hope to take photos of the band together, and maybe a short video of the band interacting with the fans in a 'behind the scenes' interview style video.

I have also contacted each actor/member and asked them to write a short bio about themselves for the website to give the "about the band" page a more realistic feel, which hopefully will be finished this week.

These are the header photos: (Sorry for the pixilation)

Website in development

So during today's lesson I've been working on my website and adding more features while I wait for the opportunity to take some photos of the band. I've finally managed to add some screen shots of the video to the 'Gallery' page, put in functioning twitter, facebook and myspace links on the 'contact' page as well as setting up an email account for fans to send fan mail to the band (giversmusic@hotmail.com) Which has been tested and works! 

There is also now a logo of 'Glassnote Records', which is the label that GIVERS are signed to anyway, and have featured this to give the website a more realistic feel. I've also started to tie in themes between the music video and the website. The main background is of balloons, a key feature that will appear throughout all tasks, and the colour orange, which can be found as a tint throughout the music video, and in balloon colour, and also within the design colours of the website, including font colour.

I've also added in a soundcloud track on the 'Home' page of a different song so to keep fans interested and excited about the band and it's potential next release. The 'Lyrics' page is almost complete, depending whether I decide to include more songs or not, currently there are 3 song lyrics up ('Up, up up' the music video lyrics, 'Atlantic' and 'Saw You First')

I've also updated the 'About the Band' page by including a introductory paragraph about the band in general, and then I shall include photos of individual members and some basic information about each member. I've seen this on several other band websites, specially The Wanted's website. (I would link the page, but you have to be a member to see the content)

On this screen grab you can see a clear image of the member, Nathan, a short bio about himself, his twitter page information, his 'wall' and photos and videos about himself. In the top right hand corner there is also links/photos of the other band members. Although on this page there is a considerable amount of information about the band member, I shall be including a main photo and a short bio, possibly written by the actor themselves as if to give the impression that he/she is talking directly to the fans, giving the band's audience more satisfaction from visiting the page.
