Creative Critical Reflection

Final Product

Well, I'm proud to announce that I've finished my A Level Aice Media Studies project. I've thought about this day since the project was first introduced to me. I learn a lot about my capabilities as a student through these projects assessed by Cambridge and I'm excited to share my final products. Without further ado, here are my final products:

Wrapping it up

Website

Hello. Julia here. I wanted to continue talking about my website. So, I've been looking at the websites for the bands I talked about earlier (Skegss, Fidlar, Made Violent, and Sticky Fingers) and they all are very easy and to the point. During my process of creating my website, I decided to include the following: links to social media and music apps, tour dates, and photos of the band. Since the band is still working on getting their name out there, I chose to not add merchandise onto the website. I chose to do this because the band is still trying to get noticed and spending money to create merchandise right now is not necessary. Like I said earlier, the doodles I made on the Let'sDraw application on the iPhone was very pixelated when i uploaded it onto the website, so I am no longer going to be adding that to the page. Made Violent's website was the biggest inspiration for the one I'm creating. It is easy to use and very to the point. Here is the link to their website. This is what their website looks like: 

When you click on the upper right tabs they open up to their social media and music pages. I really like how simple this website is, yet you can totally understand the band's vibe with the single image on the page. When you click on the "tour" link, this is what shows up: 

It's very simple like the rest of the website and I think it will be easy for the band to keep up with especially since they are still trying to get recognized.

As I continue to create my website, I have considered how my band is still starting up and that it doesn't make sense to add certain details to their website. At this point, the band needs a place where someone can find all the ways to access their music and get a feel of who they are. Like I said earlier, I want to post photos of the band. The band will have albums for each previous gig they have so the people who went can access the photos that were taken. I think this is a really cool idea. I know that many clubs do things like this. They have photographers taking pictures and upload them in an album from the night so people don't have to worry about taking their own pictures. Plus, they are better quality. Who doesn't love high quality pictures???

Last minute change of plans!!! omg!!!
