I have now completed my digi pack, interior and exterior. I cam across some problems when it came to the interior images. I was originally going to use one red food colouring image and one green, although I really like the effect I used to the green image and couldn't make the red image exactly the same for the opposite side. I looked at other digi packs interiors and noticed that many are one landscape image so I didn't see why I couldn't mirror my edited image onto the opposite side. Below are the finished results.
This is my website as a finished product; www.summerthor.webeden.co.uk
I have one small upload of my video to do onto my home page, I have the video link set up and ready although I am going to make a small change to my video and upload it when this is completed.
I have tried to incorporate the conventions of artists website I noticed when researching. For instance; having a 'Log In' page is a conventional way of ensuring the audience can connect with the artist and get 'insider' news and gossip. This makes the members feel exclusive and as if they are on a personal level to the star, aka Summer Thor.
I have also brought in some other media platforms being, youtube, facebook and a twitter box. These social networking sites and online video sites create a vast spread of advertisement and consumption for Summer Thors work.
I feel conventions like these along with others help make my website 'part of the group'. It fits in with the traditional artists sites yet has a quirky, characteristic touch that shines through with Summer Thors brand identity.
We have been reminded that the dealine for our coursework is now creeping up for a week tomorrow (friday 11th of May).
I have consturcted a list of things I have to do within the next week;
edit images for interior of digi pack
finish the 'gig' page on my website

Write the evaluation
(if I have time I am also hoping to add another shot in the last minute of my music video to break up the shots)
I have gathered 6 members of my target audience to watch my music video and give me some feedback of some last minute edits I could do before submiting it with my coursework.
The majority of the audience said that the last minute of the video contains too many lip and face close ups. I have decided to break this up a little with some more shots of the field and running shots. I am going to add these shots after I have finished my digi pack and website.
