As way of further preparing for next years course, we completed an introductory lesson with website design tool Wix. Wix is an easy to use platform for designing your own websites to then be published on the internet for all to see. This is the platform we will be using to create websites for our own artist post the creation of our music pop promos, making it a good idea to become acquainted with he workings and layout of Wix due to the short space of time we have to complete our media coursework next year.
We were instructed by our teacher to separate into pairs and create a user with Wix. In the following hour we were told to create only a homepage for ourselves if we were an up and coming music act. Myself and Brandon, created 'Koen' a organic, indie-rock artist making headway in the British market. One can create numerous pages on the site but considering that this was just an introductory session we simply made a homepage with a series of text, images and design scheme. We went for a simplistic yet attractive black and white colour scheme, that looks mature. I was happy with what we managed to create in a short period of time and was surprised about how professional the page looks. It was also reassuring to know that the creation of the page was not too difficult as I presumed it would be quite complicated. I discovered however, it was more about organisation and having a clear idea of the star image of your imaginary artist.
