website goals

reflection on website goals

After reviewing the marking criteria of this project i had to refocus a few of my goals for this site. obviously this site has a personal attachment to it, being about a band that i am part of and enjoy. however to keep with the theme of space i had to include and not-include many aspects you would otherwise expect from a band website. with this in mind i tailored my efforts into producing a strong theme of musical space - how the band has its space. this space constitutes its music and product and how each band member has their space and role to play in the band. i attempted to illustrate this in a few ways.

->firstly i played with the concept of black and white design. i wanted this to reflect the open space of the band. each instrument has a "colour" or a flavour to bring and i drew this out through the contrast of bringing in colour to the page.

->secondly i focused strongly on aesthetics in layout and structure. i wanted to communicate the concept of space as strongly as possible so i used the page "space" or layout to produce a strong front. I tried to implement slight changes in each page to reflect the corresponding changes of space in the band.

->thirdly i used music to convey musical space! i worked with single tracks and bareness to really emphasis the goals of this theme.

Technical proficiency:
I didn't have too many problems making this site. In terms of consistency there is still one "mistake" i need to rectify which is the border that is produced around a link. For some reason it appears in IE but not in safari so i will try and had that changed. Kinda stuffs up the look of the site pretty majorly with it kept in. Overall though i think this site is rather consisent across platforms.

Interest:
In my personal opinion i really enjoy the aesthetics of the site. I love the black and white concept and the layout. I think it's bold and focussed on the theme but still provides visual consistency and interest.
