Website

I created a website using wix website creator to promote my music video and to also represent the band.
i used many techniques to improve the look and feel of this website such as working links to amazon and social medias as well as creating a working contact sheet

I followed the conventions of other website of the same genre such as the website for oasis. it uses many photos of the band in action and also features a dark, grungy theme. One of the most prominent features of websites of this genre is the gig list and links to social media, i made sure to include both of these in my website to make it look similar to others of the same genre.

Digipak





This is my finished digipak for the arctic monkeys. I used some shots from my music video for the panels. I like the way these looked and they give a look that is very similar to the arctic monkeys other pieces.

This digipak uses many of the conventions of all digipaks such as copyright information and production company logos/names. It also includes a list of all the songs on the cd and also there track times.
I fell that my digipak fits well with the theme of the band, that being an indie homemade look, and I feel that I portray it well through use of wornout looking type faces and dark colourings on the background pictures.
