List of elements to include for functioning website

List of elements to include for functioning website

·     Pictures of the artist you are promoting

·     Background image of artist edited with a pastel effect to be used as the base image for the website in which text and either images can be placed over

·     Logo of the Artist to be positioned in the top left-hand side of the webpage.

·     Large clear fronts that are easy to read to allow audiences to easily navigate the webpage.

·     An introductory paragraph on my chosen artist. Within this paragraph I must contain information about their childhood, how developed a passion for music and how they reached their aim of being a world renowned recording artist. I must include key information about their career. For example, noting which fellow artists they have collaborated with, which labels they have been signed under and why they continue make music.

·     Monochrome colour scheme. Electronic dance music artists website is conventionally monochrome. This enables them to create binary opposition within their homepage. The simplistic design of monochrome can have a unique sophisticated appearance that connotes wealth, status and successful. 

·     An Audio-Visual element must be included. This can be in a range of forms from a behind the scenes footage, interviews with actors who appeared in your dance music video and even an interview is the music artist themselves. 

·     My dance music video should be uploaded onto my website, eligible for viewings from YouTube. This should be advertised on the homepage a be a focal point for users of my website.  

·     A fully functioning menu bar should be located at the top of my webpage. This should contain six separate pages: home, tours, shop, contact, photos and videos. 

·     One of my webpages located on my menu bar need to be fully functioning. For this this I will either choose tours or videos. I believe these two webpages provide me with the flexibility to create a conventional webpage. For information on Tours, I would have to include where the location of the event will be, the date of tours and the timings of the individual performances. If I was to choose to make videos my fully functioning webpage. I would be able to include my dance music video in addition to an interview with the artist themselves. 

·     Social Media icons will need to be placed on my homepage. This is significant as it shows visiting users than my chosen artist has a wide following on multiple media platforms. 

·      A discography should be included. In this previous works of my chosen artist are promoted, usually allowing users to listen to a minute snip it of their songs. 

·     Links to merchandise store should be advertised. Merchandise stores tend to be separate websites from the music artists official website but will always navigate the user to their store in order to increase their revenue of their clothing and accessories sold.
