Developing Merchandise And Updates To Our Website and CD Cover Inspiration- Session 14

Today we decided that we should update our merchandise so it would be more professional. We thought that it would be a good idea to use the eagle from the bands logo to show a consistency in the bands design and branding. I thought that instead of using cartoon templates of clothing we should use plain real clothing to make it more realistic. I used Google images to find some pieces of clothing and then edited our falcon onto them.

Here is what they look like:

I then added these to the website and we decided that the t-shirts should cost £15 and the jumpers £20 as they are usually higher in price. I added 'Price' and 'Buy Now' buttons next to each one and decided on their placing and colouring. Furthermore, I added two headers 'T- Shirts' and 'Jumpers' in a pastel orange as it matched our aesthetic. 

Also, I updated the 'Home' and 'Gigs' pages with tour dates and where they would be taking place. We decided that we would choose small gigging places as our band is not fully established but is just starting in their career, therefore, naming smaller places of performing would make more sense then an arena. 

Here are the updates to our website:

Finally, while checking my Twitter I found some artwork of a nature based piece on animals and thought that it would fit our tree theme shown across our website perfectly. This inspired us so we decided that Laura should draw a version with a falcon. We think that we could use this as part of our albums front or back cover.

Here is our inspiration and our version drawn by Laura:
