Annotate two original images on the website:  

 

  • happy and childish stickers on her-contradicting to her facial expression which are aggressive and moody  

  • The outfit and the purple is also contrasting to her face, the songs in the album and the name in the album 

  • The stickers on her face consists of flowers, suns, ice creams and other small child stickers  

  • All a stickers are seen as sweet foods but the albums called sour  

  • She is the only object/focus in the picture 

 

 

  • Still girly like the previous photo  

  • Pink is the dominant colour within the image  

  • Yet again she is the centre point of the image  

  • There’s fairy light is in background creating a slight bokue effect with the light/background  

  • Pink is also the predominant lighting colour however the only colour on her face is a golden light that is over exposed 

  • Her hair is holding up the balloons- abstract 

 

 

 

 

 

 

List conventions of website design you can see: 

  • Logo placement is where it’s commonly placed (the left hand side of the menu bar) 

  • The logo is just her initials and is very fun, bubbly and almost child like  

  • The menu bar is hand written adding a personalized feel  

  • On the right hand side of the menu bar she has all her social media accounts linked for easy access  

  • The link styling is simplistic, the titles, links and written information are all in black but normal the title is in a different colour to draw attention to it 

  • Her main three colours are black, white and purple  

 

Annotate the title and logo for the band/artist’s webpage:  

 

  • She has just had a new documentary come out about the making of her album sour so her new merch is the firs thing that appears on the website  

  • Her most popular song ‘Drivers License’ has the “driving home 2 u” in so that’s why the name of the merch and film is called that  

  • The main three colours of purple, white and black are all shown, purple being the predominant colour  

  • Her fonts are all hand written fonts to make it personal  

  • Their isn’t any big title delivering who she is or a photo of herself (nit fully identifying the artist) 

 

 

Annotate the menu bar: 

 

  • The menu bar is made up of ripped paper (possibly symbolising song writing paper) 

  • Her main title is in the left hand corner of the menu bar  

  • Her main title isn’t her first name its only her initials and it isn’t her most known logo  

  • In the middle she has her main section of the website in a hand written font  

  • To the left she has all of her social media’s and links to where you can find her music (self promotion) 

If applicable, annotate the text introducing the band/artist: 

  • She has a self written bio as the first part underneath her recent advertisement for her merch  

  • Her bio is very personal  

  • The language she uses within it is clokwheeled and somewhat informal making it more direct to the reader  

  • She explains her story and how thankful she is for her fans  

  • She also explains her passion for music  

  • Next to her written bio she has a phot of herself which is the first seen picture of her on her website  

 

Find examples of a range of appropriate media language techniques (typography, images, fonts, backgrounds, logos etc.) as appropriate to the purpose of the website: 

  • A lot of her following is teenage girls/females so she will be doing a lot to apply to the female audience  

  • A very popular symbol nowadays is a butterfly so you see a lot of them across her work 

  • It tends to be filled with hearts and fun, large bubbly fonts as she is using her website and the art within it to express herself as an artists  

  • She treats her webpage almost like a craft book- the photos are shown as Polaroids and stuck to the screen with purple marking tape, her fonts are all hand written and her headers are all made up of ripped paper 

  • She likes to follow quiet a retro vibe as an artists and this is seen through her style of website

Music Video Analysis

 History-One direction  This music video was released on January 26th 2016. The music video is of the band reminiscing over all of the good times they’ve had together. This being because this was the last song they released as a band. While this song isn’t about a romantic love, its about a friendship love and flashbacks. We can tell when the flashbacks roll as they’re in a black and white filter. In a film  or music video when we go back in time, to make it obvious we use black and white as that’s what was used in the early days of filming. This is relatable to people who have lost someone or split up from someone and they go back through all the memories and remember it was a lovely time to be celebrated and they will always be apart of your life. I believe in you- Michael Buble  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94MHIeeGwys This music video is about two people finding together at a very young age and growing old together. We see them fall in love. get married, buy their first house an

  I slightly changed the order of my story board and did a few different scenarios such as having the older woman walk towards the grave at the end rather having her dancing. I also had a few more small clips of the young couple e.g him giving her flowers and doing her hair.
