Creating the website #8

Update: some new changes on the website, I have decided to enlarge the name 'EZ Mak' this could help show the significance of the name and allows it to stand out a lot more than it had. i have also brought it slightly down to be able to put a banner at the top for some social media links. I have also added the chat box at the bottom on the screen. I have done this to allow a more 'interactive audience' and create a closer link with the listeners.
From the second photo we can see I have made some additions and changes. I have added the comment box below the news to assume a more interactive audience, the box contains more social media links. I have also decided to get rid of the music box which used to be on the right of the screen to now become a social media and mailing list box. All the changes I have made allow a perspective of a community and more interconnectedness through the media.

Creating the website #7


Update: We have decided to change the website background, this is because we thought that the other background didn't fit in with our group and the diamond background went with our branding that we wanted for our group. I have also added a few more pieces of merchandise to the website, these include: A cap and a Hoodie. We still have no photos to put up for our homepage slide but we hope to have the photoshoot done soon and upload some photos within this month. We also hope to be able to finish the whole website and publish it this month.

Creating the website #6

Update: I have added some photos to the website shop and updated the shop so it is functional, the slideshow at the top of the page shows some of the current items in the shop so it is asthetically pleasing and give the shop more content. I have also updated the cart page and added a shopping cart button which links the shop to the cart so customers can 'pay' I hope to be able to update the news and home page soon.

Creating the website #5


Update: Created more merchandise for the EZ Mak shop, I decided to make 2 types of headphones for the shop to give a feel of availability and flexibilty to the 'brand' this makes it seem more prestige and allows me to 'charge' premium prices. I will update the shop soon and hope to be able to put up the digipak and sell it as an album soon.

Creating the webiste #4


Update: I Have now added the Merchandise store to the website, currently I have created 5 products all with the same Diamond logo on it and I am calling it the 'Diamond' collection for obvious reasons. The products I have created are simple but affective as they highly relate to the music genre we have chosen. There are conotations with urban music and 'urban' style clothes. For example Beanies, small pouches and wrist bands, these are loosely linked because it its part of the urban music culture and are seen a lot on hip/hop artists.
I have chosen to create the Diamond collection because we had decided that it would be EZ Mak's (our artists) symbol, as documented on my first website creation post. I hope to be able to create more merchandise for the page and update the slide show on the photo above ^  

Creating the website #3


Update: I have started to add more content to the website. For example I have created some "latest" news such as: a debut single and a merchandise sale, I hope to be able to create a page dedicated to merchandise to show what is 'on sale' I will be able to do this by creating some artist merchandise through editing photos with Adobe Photoshop.
The current video on the page is not our finished music video product but we hope to be able to upload it within the following weeks.
