Finally some decisions.
This has been a long time coming, but ive been busy with other school work/activities. I really need to take a chill pill for a bit and stop working so much. My One day off is Sunday and i spend it doing homework! what a fantastic excistance!
Anyway…..
The final blog to wrap up the website research.
Firstly may i say that i have not found any of these websites aesthetically pleasing. The in the mix WS lacks colour and energy. The Big Day Out is to messy and dirty. The falls festival had a nice themed scheme however i will steer clear of that fantasy design. Splendour in the grass was way to feminen, to many bunny rabbits.
TheFuture Music Festival is the website i liked best. The colouring was cool and had a great theme of the sunset and the mayhem that happens afterwoods. I think this website styling best suits the idea of Stonefest.
The seven notable features are:
1) Navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen. These will include something like the following Artists, History, Contact, News, lineup and tickets.
2) A search bar on the homescreen.
3) Artists Biographies.
4) A Home button on the top left.
5) Minimalistic design, with bright illustrator images to create interest.
6) Current window is layered on top of previous one (instead of changing the page)*. I want to design one that works cohesively with both windows open at the same time.
* Refer to falls festival website.
7) Line up and news on the homepage. News on the left column, lineup on the right.
