Final Website

This is my final website

http://michaelsleftshoe.wix.com/the-beach-boys

I am happy with my final site and i feel tha it went well. i stuck with the yellow background as i feel it works the beach theme and has a warm summery feel to it. The 4 links along the top of the page are all active and are all working pages. Across these 4 pages i have;

• information on the band
• exclusive band member information
• tour dates
• background stories
• picture gallery full of photos
• and a contact page

please take the time to navigate on the pages.

Final Digi-Pak

This is my final Digi-Pak

This is the final copy of my Digi-Pak i decided to use the style that i created myself on photoshop, i feel that this design is quite effective as it clearly is a beach pattern and this was better than any photos that i have from previous holidays which i had taken myself. It was a shame that i couldn't use a beach photo but obviously as i cant use a photo which i didnt actually take myself and also due to environmental limitations i wouldn't be able to capture the perfect photo if i tried. I have included a lyric book to this Digi-Pak as this is always an effective little add-on as it makes it just that little bit more interactive for the consumer as they will know all the lyrics to all of the songs.

Just an idea?

During our own time at home, one of the group members happened to see the Coldplay music video for Paradise, and shared it with us with their idea. There is a scene in the video where the elephant is holding cardboard with writing on it saying 'para-para-paradise' in time with the lyrics.

We took inspiration from this and decided that we could put that into our video, we wouldnt do it to go in time with lyrics but we used it as a photo to be used for either digi-pak's or websites.

As you can see each band member has a differnt board saying a differnt part of the band name, then we were sat in order so the boards would read 'The Beach Boys'. I think that this would be quite a strong photo to use as a front cover on the digi-pak or a main photo on the website, it would just require some editing and then it could be used.
