MY WEBSITE

Sophia Francis

A QUICK RECAP

My website was for a musical

artist, Markey Blendawho is a

dancehall artist.

Relates to Marshall McLuhan's

‘Global Village’ theory

Aiming to have a Rastafarian

theme

TARGET AUDIENCE

The website is targeted at anyone who has a

passion for music, Markey Blenda focus’s on

dancehall music but does step into many different

genres so many people will appreciate at least one

song.

It is also targeted at other artists, if they are looking

to collaborate or are interested in his instrumentals.

Record labels, if they were interested in signing him

to their label.

THE ORIGINAL PLAN

For my home page I wanted to have:

A large picture on the artist

A logo

Music

Colourful buttons

I liked this image to be put in

somewhere.

DID IT GO TO PLAN?

I was able to use the image I wanted for

my background but this brought up issues

with colours because not many colours go

with red, green and yellow so I had to

stick with those colours along with black

and white.

I haven’t added a large picture of the artist

on my home

I added a logo to all of the pages

THE PROGRAMS

Dreamweaver

Getting the hang of Dreamweaver was difficult but the more I used it, the better I got. The coding was hard at first but it helped.

Photoshop

I used Photoshop to edit most of my pictures and some of my text, this was simple but I did find that some pictures and text looked very pixelated.

Flash

I used flash so I was able to bring in some videos into Dreamweaver. It allowed my to choose skins for the videos.

PROBLEMS!!

My biggest problem was with the music. I tried

making music playlists on Flash because I wanted

to have a large amount on songs available for the

audience to flick through.

I watched tutorials and read books but still wasn’t

able to produce one.

I had problems with Dreamweaver and the tables

obeying me. At times they would randomly go

wherever they wanted to.

Colours. I wanted to use more colours but it didn’t

look right with the background.

THE (NEARLY) FINAL PRODUCT

My website has some features that I had planned and

wanted but while making it there have also been

many changes.
