The Making of Digi pack front cover

Here is the process the picture for my front cover went through starting with the original picture. I edited the picture itself then added the text and extra images.

Here i set the colour scheme and added a blur around the edges the the viewer will focus on the centre where the artist is. Establishing the artist as the most important thing on the cover.

Then i added the Titles and symbols

Website in progress

Here above is one of the pages i designed on the website, it is unfinished as i still intend to add some more interactive features including a section where you can listen to some of his songs. I also intend to make the website more personal and coming direct from the artist himself. As you can see here the font on the writing at the top of the page is symmetrical on either side of the page however i have experienced difficulties when opening this website on different computers. In some cases the fonts change without me changing them and when i go to edit the font it once again appears correct. This is an error i feel i cannot correct

Here is another page i have designed, This page is outlining the tour dates and so i have listed the date, the town, the venue and the price if tickets are still for sale. i have also added a button 'See More' that allows the viewers to click on it and to the the website of the venues to get a better feel and anticipation for the event. On these sites they will also be able to buy tickets

Website analysis 3

This website is interesting because as you open it up the most dominant text is the one about her tour instead of her name. Also its unusual that the picture of her is a side shot and doesn't show much of her face its more focused on the passion of her performance which will be aimed to sell tickets to her tour dates.

The image on the homepage is big and takes up a large portion of it however this picture changes

This little arrow in the corner when clicked allows the viewer to change between the different options of main images.

Each slide has a link to click which makes the website lively and exciting. It is very colourful and fast moving making it appealing to explore. I think the tone set by the site is purposefully matched to that of the character of the artist.

Taylor has an image of someone who is down to earth and viewers can relate to her. Her songs are young and full of life but more to do with real life situations rather that just expensive things and a superstar lifestyle; this is what allows viewers to relate and engage with her character. The mise en scene her emphasises this, even though she is a global superstar with millions of pounds she is there in just a plain t-shirt in a bedroom. Holding her guitar and focusing on it showing all that matters is her music and the rest is unimportant. She doesn't appear to boast as there are no jewellery or fancy things in shot. Its this that makes her seem more human and causes listeners to become emotionally involved in her music because they feel as if they know her. This theme is continued by the text......

The superstar addresses her fans directly saying 'hi, i'm taylor', it is shown to be her speaking to the audience personally which is a further example of my previous point that she makes the viewers feel as if they know her well and she is a real, down to earth person.

The lay out of the text is also an example of this, the effect used to make it look like pieces of paper makes it more personal than just text on a website and brings the words to life.
