Task 1 - Web design

Part of our course work is to create a homepage for the artists website. We have to design it so that it fits into the artists style well, and keep the star image motif solid. Most artists now have their own websites that display their music, clothing, news and information on the artists. The homepage has to show navigation but with no actual links to other pages. However i could possibly link to the artists actual webpage and include links to the music video. A successful website has to have a balance, with not too much happening on the page. Examples of this are too many links, buttons, pockets of information and multiple colour schemes. it confuses the user and puts them off using the website as they cant find what they want. This image on the left is the splash screen, the opening screen that carries on the image from the album. There is only one link and that is through the image which then takes you to the image on the left. The site that is linked to this page is very basic and looks like something made on paint. i was disappointed by the lack of design in the site. However it does have everything that is needed to make good website, like the home button, information on the artist and more. Plus because its so simple it is very easy to navigate.
