Webpage layout Powertpoint

This is our powerpoint of the ideas we are going to use in the design of our webpage for the band. We have referenced bands homepages such as the Foo Fighters (we used their song for our production), Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Foals.

Our favourite was The Foals as they have a simple design thats effective and easy to navigate, also we liked the image for the background that makes it stand out to the others

Planning

In todays lesson, me and Jon set about planning our ancillary task jobs. I printed out a to scale template for a digipak and drew some concept art over the cover inside and back to get a general gist of how it will look when we have taken the photos for the actual digipak.

Planning Ancillary Tasks

Today we started to plan our ancillary tasks. Our choices were to do a website homepage for our band, as Jon is doing ICT it should play to his strengths, and also a digipack for the bands album. We decided to plan in a boardroom style way with a whiteboard and writing down any ideas that came to mind.

For the website we decided to give it a stylish look of bitonal with wither black and white or black and red as the prominent colours. This was a good place to start so we can form a base for the website and add things like links and news on to it to make it more professional looking.

Our digipack needed to relate to the name of our band we had made up which is 'Attitude Suspenders' so an idea i had was to have a picture of a 50s style person wearing suspenders smoking a cigar but only showing the lower part of his face and his torso.

So far this is all we have but we plan to develop these ideas in future lessons
