Website Research

When conducting research into artists websites and designs, I opted to choose artists and bands who produce the same genre of music as my artist. The first website I looked at was Jorja Smith's, her website design was very simple using only plain colors such as greens, whites, and blacks. The first page featured a large photo of her, this is something I want to incorporate into my website. This highlights who the artist is to the audience. As well as her new video and her tour dates https://www.jorjasmith.com/ Dua Lipa's website is another source of inspiration for me as it features vibrant colors with the edit of a photo of the artist. This is something I will incorporate into my website as I want to carry out media convergence between my video and my artist through the use of vibrant colors and edits. http://swansong.dualipa.com/ Although Tame Impala is a band, I can draw a lot of inspiration from this website, as their home page includes trippy edits and photos

POP UP - I will also have a pop-up window MUSIC VIDEO - my music video will be directly under the first part of my home page, meaning its accessible and labeled clearly. I will feature a short clip I
