Website Ideas

It took Claudia and myself a long, long time to decide on an image for the back drop of our website for the homepage - something that the audience will instantly view when previewing Lila Eden's website. We wanted something that represents her as an artist, her music and the genre but still really grabs their attention. Because we have the running theme of 'The Garden of Eden' we wanted  something that would fit into that also. We looked at the 'traditional' imagery (top left) of what the garden is supposedly said to look like. However, most of the images we found were too bland and not eye catching in the slightest. This is when we found the 'alternative' version of what the Garden would look like (above right). It is extremely strange and outlandish which contrasts the music but fits the artist, so there lies high potential with this image.  

For back up we decided to look into something more simplistic but still keeping with the mystical and garden like theme. Woods was something that instantly sprung to mind. These two images were something we visually enjoyed. 

The focus on the colour of the sky creates the attention and draws the eye in. The trees and twisted twigs adds a sense of spookiness which represents the connection of genre. Something else we found was completely abstract. A forest filled with fairy lights - now this is something that defiantly fits in because we have in-corporated fairy lights in the music video itself! It creates a fairy tale effect which can also be said about the Adam and Eve tale.

This is the final image we want to incorporate in either our website or DigiPak. Our ideal idea for the website is to have a slideshow of a range of images and photographs, presenting all the different outfits and locations we used for this particular music video, so when you enter the site, you are immediately drawn in to the images and carry on looking through the website. This image below is a collage of all of our favourite images that we have mashed and cute together to create an alternative and 'wacky' image. It still represents our them of 'The Garden of Eden' - having the apples, the traditional imagery and the alternative one. This creates an effective and weird contrast but works really well and think that would catch the attention of the viewers.
