Ancillary Task

Today i carried on with the ancillary task that ive been set, the website, i didnt get too much done today been in doing so i now understand what i need to do and how i can make it work.

I will try to finish the ancillary task at home as i have been facilities to do what i what for this project, these are things such as access to Youtube and i have both Photoshop and Fireworks.

Todays lesson

Today we looked at both adverts in magazines and band websites, this has given a understandin of what needs to go on each, the main things that we needed to agree on is the band name that we will use, the font and the colour scheme.

I will be doing the majority of the webpage as i am more skilled at this task than the magazine advert. George was in charge of magazine advert and lawrence was looking at fonts that we could use. We agreed that the main colours that we will use will be black, red, white and grey.

The use of grey and white will allow us to use either the black or the red to make things stand out and eye-catching. One part we had difficulty with was the band name, to do this we used a band name generator on the internet, eventually the name The Bambinos came up, we all agreed that this should be the band name as its taking a long time to get a good name.

Webpage Planning

As i will be the main person designing and creating the webpage i have decided to get some inspriration from other band websites, eventhough the websites that i looked at are very different in terms of style they are both very helpful in designing as they both shows the layout and links that a band website should have.

The Kasabian website is very minimalistic, this is becuase there isnt much going on.
