Given that I only have a few weeks left of my project I am starting to really focus in on the website side of things. I have to say that I have spent so much time on the video side of the project that I haven't considered the website too much yet. I never wanted the project to go too far outside the videos themselves but I realise that to satisfy the criteria of the whole project I must make it into a complete package rather than just some random videos.
So I'm starting to research websites. And not just artist websites but everything. Any website that has great functionality and originality. As I mentioned in the crit, I look at this stuff all the time and yet I take it all for granted. So now its time to start paying attention. I've taken the first step by literally typing in the words cool websites. I'll see where that takes me. If I can look at 50 websites in the next day or so I am bound to find some inspiration.

http://www.scribblesquad.com/I looked at this site for a design trio. They have a fun feel to the page and there is a section here where they have combined different fonts with images to tell people what they do. It makes the page more fun to look at. You get a sense of what these guys are about from their homepage alone so its quite successful.
I want to use heavy imagery on my site and combine it with white space to provide that balance.
No crazy html programming going on here. Its a basic site with a fun aesthetic.
