Rock Website

I did this design as rock music is on of my most favourite genres and I could use inspirations from other bands and help influence my own work . Twenty One Pilots, Korn and Linkin Park are all major influences for colour, typeface’s and images.

I used a base template of on Wix for a Rock website and changed it to my needs including changing all logos that appeared to the logo I created and making sure I change all information to the correct requirements for my band.Screen Shot 2019-04-23 at 12.24.32.pngThis was the templateScreen Shot 2019-04-23 at 12.23.17.pngThis is what I changed it too to fit my band.

Most changes were small, things like making sure the logo was replaced in all places to suit my needs and all the fonts were changed to fit the band. A lot of the ideas were influenced by the rock band “Korn” and that they use backwards letters, and as many bands do, bizarre fonts.

This was changed at the bottom of every page and in other places to have my logo instead of the presets to present the right image.Screen Shot 2019-05-07 at 09.28.53

This is what it was previously to my design not much has been changed besides the logo but it helps keep the design of my website as its own.

Most other things were small details that were changed in order to stick to a pattern or to suit the style and genre.

The aesthetics are very dark and smoky conforming to the normal stereotypes of the rock genre. This mostly takes influence from older bands though as rock as a genre has become a lot less dark and gritty, the same with the heavy metal influences being not as satanic and gritty as the genre used to be.

Overall review:

I believe my site has reached the expectations of what I at least had in mind when I was planning how this site was gonna look, it helps that the music i listen to mainly consists of rock music anyway, and I managed to bring these ideas to life using the wix website creator.

The site is of good quality and takes many influences from other rock bands as mentioned above and these really helped with much of the idea development including typeface/font, the logo and all the colours and effects throughout the pages of the site. The website was also simple and easy to do I made a quick and easy logo in illustrator and added it to the website and replaced the template logos all with my own made logo and all fonts were changed to suit the site and logo as well the colours were changed to darker colours.

 

American Typewriter (Typography Poster)

American Typewriter

I have used the formation of a typewriters keyboard to arrange the letters making it connect with the name of the typography stronger and helping people make the connection between the name and the style.

I also used the I love NY symbol as it is a modern popular use of the font meaning many people who see the poster will understand and have an example of where it is commonly used.
