I have also added another image to the banner, which says that you can purchase the new song and album iTunes, which is easily accessible and appeals to our target audience. 


On the info page, I have added the title on to a green bar, which is the same throughout all of the pages, which creates consistency. I have also changed the font of the text so it matches throughout. I then uploaded a picture of the back of the album cover so it is recognisable.


I then added the gallery title and the green bar to the gallery page.


I then changed all the fonts on this page to match the rest of them throughout all the pages on the website. I also wrote up all of the text on this page, saying when our bands performances are going to be, and where they are being held. The buy tickets button also links to ticket master.


I then added the title and green bar to the Merchandise page. I created on Photoshop the bits of merch to put on the website. I also customised all of the fonts on this page.





I added 'The Reservoirs' logo to a mug, to a hoodie and to a phone case, which is the type of products which will appeal to our target audience/fans. I added them to the shopping part of the page and added the titles of what they are and the prices.
When you click on one of the products it will enlarge so you can see it properly and use the arrows to navigate to the next item. 


When you click on the add to cart option the product will appear in your 'basket'. I linked these together to make them look professional.


I then added the title and green bar to the Contact page. I changed all of the fonts to match the rest and added an address to contact the Production Company. I also added the bar of social networking sites so that fans can contact the band that way instead.

Here I customised the font I wanted to use and added the 'Check out the new Strangers video' wording to appeal to fans more and so they know what song the music video is for.


I then added the tour dates title which I linked to the tour page so that all of our bands tour dates can be seen, however the ones on the homepage are the performances which are at the O2 academies, proving that we have a connection with them.
I also changed all of these fonts, and added the 'buy tickets' image, which I have linked to ticket master to make our website seem that extra bit professional.


I then added the twitter title which will link to our bands twitter page, you can also see here the most recent updates from the band.


I also added this image which also links to ticketmaster, but is a more familiar icon so that people will know straight away where they will be led if they click on it; it is a more direct link.


At the bottom of each of the pages, you will see a block of social networking sites. I have added these images as the original icons weren't in colour, however I added the actual logo do that people know exactly what they are. The facebook and twitter buttons will link to the band's pages, and the youtube button links to the Strangers video.

It was then time to add the titles of each page on to the homepage. I did this by creating an image on Photoshop with the font 'Sandwich' which we downloaded from DaFont and used throughout our digipak. We wanted to use it for the titles and links on the website so that there was consistency through both platforms. I then uploaded these images with the correct words on them and linked them to the page that the button will navigate to. I placed them all next to each other, all the same size so it looks professional. These buttons I placed at the top of the homepage so you see them straight away and know what they are for.


I then added the relevant titles to the rest of the homepage. We have a slideshow of images on the left which will link to the gallery when you click on the title. The music title doesn't link to another page because the music video is already shown on the homepage where it will be seen and watched straight away. I also lined all the titles up together using the green bar making them stand out more.


You can see here that the background image most definitely blends in with the green coloured bar underneath the titles, which means that all the colours match.


Here is another title which also doesn't need to link to another page as all of the latest news is displayed on the home page. It is also easy to see here that I changed the opacity of the light brown background so that the picture of the tunnel can be slightly seen through it, making it more interesting. 
I have also changed all the fonts on each of the pages so that it will fit in more. To do this I had to customise each font that I wanted to use and then apply it to the text that we have.
