I chose brief 3 and wanted to make a website and poster of my artist. I chose brief 3 because I've been quite passionate about music since I was very little. I also took music as a GCSE option in Year 9, which gave me lots of ideas about the music industry and how things work there. I took these skills and knowledge I learned as an advantage. Also, being a fan of various artists and visiting concerts inspired me to use my all-time dream to create my own singer and make it realistic. I decided to create a website consisting of 3-4 different pages for fans to view. I had to do a lot of research on various artists like Taylor Swifts and others who belonged to the same genre. This is because my artist would also be part of the same genre. Then I did some research and found that my audience was mostly young teenagers who were unable to find work or have a good job to pay for magazines or artist biography and so they turned to the website . Taking this factor into consideration, I decided to create a website. Also, many teenage girls aged 13 and above prefer the website as it is quite interactive with social networking sites available to interact with the artist. I decided to create a website that looked more like a blog page written by the artist. This was done so that it looked realistic and helped the audience interact with the artist. However, I also wanted a page with all the tour dates so fans could attend and know where she would be performing. I also created a tour poster, followed by an advertisement for my artist's album and a print interview. I analyzed the tour posters of several artists who make country music. This was done to give me a... middle of paper......and to make posters as I was able to do this task without the help of the teacher simply because of past experience I was open to my passion . This therefore meant that I could work at a continuous pace. However, I don't think I was able to get my website to look the way I wanted, due to the technology not working properly and my inability to use the software properly. My products did not fully meet my expectations because something did not work well, for example the website due to lack of knowledge in certain areas and lack of resources. However, if I were to recreate my products again, I think I would organize my time more wisely and do a lot more research than the first round. I would also try using other varieties of resources such as using Photoshop instead of PowerPoint to edit images.
