Webpage Research

I found a website last year which helps create webpages. It has lots of templates and you can then go on to edit that page to make it what you want. This can be changing the writing, pictures, layout, but it just helps to have that initial template to base ideas on. I have gone onto WIX and had a look at a lot of templates which I feel will work with the message and artist I am trying to portray. There are problems with each one, but the elements I don't like I will change. 

 I really like this design as it is simple and really portrays the acoustic nature that I am going for. I think it is simple but classy and not too overwhelming but has enough on it. The thing that concerns me with this page is that the colours are quite dull and since I'm trying to sell a positive, upbeat tune, this might not be appropriate. What I would have to do is ajdust the colours and use photos that get that message across instead.

 This is another template I like as again I feel it really gets across the acoustic nature to Jack Johnson. The images I have of Ben also work really well within this because they are extremely similar to the ones that have been used here. The problem is that audiences might find it hard as with this webpage there is a lack of continuity. The colours don't corespond, nor do the images. To solve this I would have to remove the image they have used and replace it with one of my own as the train track in this one holds no relevence to our sequence. 

I like this template as its simple but effective. The colours are generic and will help bring our the tones of the images we have of the artist. The pictures we have are from the woods. The autumnal colours of the leaves, when adjusted, will be rich when placed next to the gray.

This is one of my favourite templates as I think the colours not only make it quite fun, but also tie in with our colour scheme. Because the template is quite plane there is lots of room for me to play around with layout. I also have done a lot of research into quotes wich will fit perfectly within this template!

This template is so lovely, I absolutely love the blending of the different colours and feel they work so well with out colour scheme. But a big worry I have is that the images aren't particularly relevent and I don't know how I would be able to insert my own images. So I'll have to have a play around and see what can be done, and if the images do work.
 I like this template because it will help me get across a message and theme which I feel is very dominant. I feel the image here gets across that rawness; the connotations of this are that he does a lot of the stuff himself. It's not a big chain and an industry which is guiding him to be a certain way based on audiences, but instead he is staying true to himself and doing what he loves.

 I like this template because it draws on a dominant theme within our piece- lanterns. Although now we have to use fireworks instead. But I have had a play and I can insert pictures in here. I like that it's night time and means we can use the fireworks which is the conclusion of our video therefore continuity wise it works really well. I also like the idea of having a profile of him on the front page.

This template is another one of my favourites. I love the colours used and the vintage, rustic vibe it gives off. It fits well with the song and Johnson as artist. The only concern I have is that the template  isn't for a musician so I would have to change quite a few elements to make it for a singer rather than a photographer.



Within the templates I have looked at I have got a lot of inspiration and ideas for my own webpage. Some of the templates aren't remotely similar to the one I wish to create but there elements from every template which I love and will try to use in my own one.
