Newspaper Article

Today I am finishing off my website and on one of the pages I felt it needed something more on it as it was looking rather empty and dull. I decided I would make a newspaper article about Lola Leyland and post it on there.

I used a website that allows you to make newspapers and wrote a quick article about a gig of Lola Leyland's. I made the newspaper be one that focuses on music promotion as that is obviously the most relavent for this.

The final product looked like this:

I just thought this would be a nice addition to the website and general promotion of Lola Leyland's music.

Website - Merchandise Shop

My findings of my musician website research and general knowledge has concluded to me the vitality of merchandise for almost every type of media product (bands/singers, films, TV shows, video games, etc) in promoting and 'selling' (generating profit) that media product. Therefore, on Wix, I have produced a merchandise shop.

In order to do this I used a website to design my own Lola Leyland merchandise. The website I used was http://www.zazzle.co.uk/cr/design/pt-zazzle_shirt where I uploaded photos from the music video and used a variety of colours to produce a selection of Lola Leyland T-shirts.

Here I uploaded various photos onto the T-shirt.

After I had made my range of T-shirts I created the store on Wix.

As you can see I have included all the conventions of an online store, size info, prices, a 'basket' and 'checkout'. It is very straightforward to use because I know for a fact that if it was too complicated to use it would turn potential customers away from spending there money - the last thing the musician wants!

Progress: Website so far...

Website & Digipak Progress

I am well into the production of my website and digipak. I am enjoying using wix for making the website as it is relatively straightforward to use and offers a lot of options in order to create a decent website. I am trying to include all of the conventions of a musicians website but also trying to make sure the site has its own distinct style. Here is some screenshots of the work I have done so far. (This is not the finalized thing - I still have many changes/alterations to make)

This is the homepage of the site (so far)

This is the info page, most musicians include some form
of info about themselves so I thought I should do the same
with Lola Leyland.

This is the 'Tour' page - where fans can purchase tickets
to upcoming gigs, etc...

I have created an online store where fans can purchase
merchandise - this is an important part of the website.

Here are some of the designs of the digipak I have made using online software. I am still undecided on what I want my final digipak to look like...

This could be the front cover.

This is a possibility for the back cover, as you can see I have
included all the institutional info.
