Final Draft of the Myspace Thoughts

Our myspace has turned out, in my opinion, to look very professional which is largely due to the HTML coding skill of Nick. With that said we all contributed the ideas and graphics which make up the myspace. The image at the top follows the conventions of tradional myspace covers and hits viewers as soon as they open the page. The branding of the album is shown clearly straight away. The pictures of the band members are located just below and turn a specific colour for each member when you hover the cursor over it. This is important in making our myspace look and feel professional. Further below that you get the traditional myspace layout with picture on the left, playlist on the right all of which promote our new album and hit single Start Something. The whole myspace keeps to the nautical branding we have given to the band which gives the audience something clear to recognise us by. The myspace also has the video to our new single, a list of tour dates, contact infomation, sponsors of the band, and a biography of how it all started and where were heading. We also have some viral marketing on our page which allows the fans to create a t-shirt for the band which will then be sold as band merchandise. Merchandise is very important for this genre of music as it makes fans feel a part of the band. In particular t-shirts allow fans to display their love for the band and they are proud of it as its like a statement about you as a person.
