TRANSCRIPT
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.
