Construction - How we Made Photos for our Website

We began building the website for our band using iweb, this allowed us to create a structured professional website. First we had to choose the design of the website, for this we chose a simple black layout as we felt this corresponded with the type of music Coldplay make as it is quite slow and serious.

One we chose our theme we started to add pages, first was the welcome page to introduce the website, once this was created we needed to take some of our own photos of our band and edit them. To do this we found different areas to take photos that are common in photo shoots such as on stairs. we then uploaded these photos and added some effects such as black and white and also an edge blur on the photo. To do this we used iphoto as seen below.

We also enhanced the photos to make the lighting more professional using the enhance button and then cropped the unneeded bits of the photos. 

We also adjusted the lighting to make the photos a little darker, to do this we clicked on adjust and lowered the light levels slightly.

Once all our photos were edited we then continued to put them on our website by dragging them on, starting with the welcome page.

We created a scarface theme by the colours we used for our website; black, white and red. We did this because when we came to making our single cover we knew we was going to give it a scarface theme, this way they link and correspond to each other.
