Banner

As part of our work towards the Website and Digi - Pack we have chosen to create a banner so we can keep a common theme through out our website and digi pack. To get an idea on how a website banner is created we looked at existing artists and how their website looks and what they've included to their banner. The artists websites we've already looked at are:
Rihanna:

Lana Del Ray

Ellie Goulding

After looking at their different banners we've decided to include the artists name as it will remind draw attention to it being in bold letters, we will also include things such as, twitter links and other social networking sites. We will also include things like gallery where images will be uploaded of photo shoots and also live performances.

This is a website I looked at to see the different options of sizing for my banner, this was the second one I looked at, this also gave me the size of the banner in miller meters. This one looked more realistic and suitable for the design and banner we was going for.





This is another banner sizing we looked at, looking at this and considering what we wanted to include we through the other sized banner would be more useful.
From the research I gathered I decided to design the banner in Photo Shop as this program allowed me to insert that size I want and would design the same sized banner, I just changed the background and inserted the font we have chosen for out font through the project and promotion of the artist.


This is the size we chose to pick as the size of our banner. We chose this size as it gives us enough room to add links to social networking sites and also it allows us to play with the space we have and won't appear to clogged up.



This is the banner being produced in Photo Shop. I've decided to place Bisola to the left hand side of the banner at that will catch the audience's attention straight away. This also allows space for links to social net working site, but this will all be added when the website is finished.

This is the final version of the banner. This is similar to what the other artists have on their website.


Audience and artist's feed back:
I asked our audience and artist's feed back:

I asked for the audience and also the artists feedback and they both in total gave the banner a 9/10, their improvement was to make the font bigger, action on this would to make the font bigger so it's more known to the audience and target marker who the artist is.
