Evaluation


Evaluation!

For our project we had to make a draft website of something of our choice preferably something that we like, the subject of my work was music as i really love music and probably don’t know what I would do without it. The key theme is R&B music as that Is my favourite genre on all of the music types although I do listen to all of the other genres from time to time, my site was mainly based on two different types of musicians they are JLS who are my favourite boyband ever, I can say I have never liked a boyband like this before this is what I call an obsession but in a good way and an other one of my favorite’s has to be the man himself Tinie Tempah who is an amazing rapper and who I also am a huge fan of. I chose these musicians because I knew that I would be interested in writing about them and making a site to, I have got to say I did get a bit distracted whilst doing this project as it did get boring after a while but I managed to complete the work eventually. My successes where that I know practically everything about the band I had chosen and knew that I would be able to crack on the with the work without having to research every five minutes when I wanted to know something. Also I have seen the band a number of times in concert so I had my own resources to add to my work. In future projects I would definitely use Photoshop as I know this programme inside and out as I have used it for about 3 years, I was able to do backgrounds for the website and make the layouts in this programme. I wouldn’t do anything differently next time if we did this again to be honest I think I did it all in my own pace and enjoyed some of the work we where set along the way.

When I started off my website I knew there would probably be some copyright issues due to the fact that I would have to use other photographers pictures of JLS and Tinie Tempah to let the viewers have a clear view of them. So I talked to my uncle who is really good with technology and everything in that kind of place and he said to me that if I wasn’t getting any money for the site it would be fine to use other peoples pictures, just as long as I wasn’t getting payed for showing other people photos. So after that I felt a bit better and more confident about the project.
I had a few problems with using dreamweaver because I have only ever used it once and that was nearly two years ago but I eventually got my head around the basic side of it.

I enjoyed this project but not as much as I thought I would overall I am happy will my chosen topic and end project.

first page of the website

I like the brushes i have used to make the background to the website but i might change the background colour to a brighter colour as i think this colour is a bit dull.
