Crafting a Dark Elegance: Exploring Genre Conventions in My Music Website

This website evaluation delves into how my media product adheres to and challenges established conventions within the music genre. By emulating iconic designs like the Evanescence website, I incorporated a dark background and a restrained color palette, consistent with bands like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. Using Photoshop CS3, I created intricate corner patterns, enhancing the aesthetic with glowing effects. The website's typography maintains a cohesive house style, featuring 'Harrington' for general text and a stylized title font, ensuring a unique yet familiar experience for visitors.

  2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? This is the final version of my website. I followed the conventions of the genre, through a similar house style. Like the Evanescence Website itself, it has a dark background with one to two main colours subtly on the page. This stuck with the conventions of the music genre as similar bands like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil also follow the same conventions.

  3. I also made these corner patterns using Photoshop CS3. I did it by taking the pen tool and creating lines which I curved by holding Alt. Then I right clicked on it and selected ‘Stroke Path’, which meant it gave a very faint line. Then I deleted the path and right-clicked on the layer, as it was on a separate layer. I went into the blending options and gave it an inner and outer glow of cream and white. I did this repeatedly until I came out with the finished product. The line above the navigation bar was made in the same way, except using different colours.

  4. I also used font called ‘Harrington’ and used it throughout my website and CD Cover, therefore keeping the House Style the same, this was with the exception that is the title. For my headings, sub-headings and body text. For my title I used a font called ‘Footlight MT Light’ which I then edited in Adobe Illustrator to suit the genre more. As you can see below, I made the ends elongated and pointy, to give it a more elegant, yet hardcore look.
