Creating a website was a very new experience for me since I had not done it last year for my foundation portfolio either. I went in kind of nervous thinking I might not be able to do the best job but I think I have done well! I am proud of what I have made. My strategy here was to make it look and feel as real as it could possibly get, like a real band!
To do that, I had to add some posts and sections on the website that some real websites do too, like a shop! I created a shop section, but now I also had to add products on there, so I made a few t-shirts of the band to sell as merchandise. I also created a youtube channel with the band’s name and uploaded the video there too! I linked that channel and video on the website so anybody who views the website can be referred directly to the youtube channel. I also added an audio version of the title song “SOBER” and gave an option to buy single for $1 and album for $9.99. I also added fake tour dates as if it is a real band. I linked the band Metallica’s tour dates with the tour date section, since the band I created obviously does not tour. I added a logo of the record label I want to pair the band up with, which is RoadRunner Records. I added a mention of myself too, as “in collaboration with music video director Anish Kumar Dharma”. Now, to make the band look credible, I added acclaim ratings from widely known music journalists/critics/reviewers too such as Sputnik music and The Guardian. The website features a log in option as well as a subscribe to mailing list form option to make it look more credible. Lastly, I added the logos of all the major streaming services, to imply that the album is available on there to stream.
