This is the full brief for the client project I am doing.
- A portfolio website that features a selection of his best work for self-promotion. 4-5 pages.
- An online blog where he can keep an archive of all his work, content, bits and pieces and post new updates/information, e.g. current projects, performances.
- Have all his external networking sites (Facebook, LinkedIn, blog) to be connected to his website (badges)
- Use his Facebook profile for advertising performances or events
- He’s keen to make the website responsive for tablet and mobile use to
- get ahead with the latest web trends.
- Sonic machines is about a collection of different objects. He wants a set of icons that reflect a “package” (with coherent unifying style, like
- adobe software icons)
- He’s keen for me to rebrand his logo, he doesn’t have an official one but usually uses the company name in lower case, black
- He would like me to make recommendations on the latest blogging and social networking tools/technologies
- He would like me to recommend him on a web hosting company
- This is under discussion but a way for him to share his resources with other people. To allow users to download his “refill” format sound files for personal use.
Quality Criteria
- His design should reflect “doing a lot with a little”. His approach to music is to create music in an “explosive way”. He’s interested in what you can do with an instrument and getting the most you can get under defined rules. He will try to get every possible sound he could possibly get from a certain object. It’s about taking something simple and seeing what you can do with it.
- His website is self-promotion and allowing potential collaboration or job offers from other musicians.
- If possible, make the website somewhat easy to update for someone with no css/html knowledge.
- His target audience are people who are interested in experimental music.
- His website should reflect in some way how he makes music. He would record for example, the different sounds a washing machine makes under intended use. And then extract the sound, manipulate the sound to create music. It’s about taking something simple and seeing what you can do with it.
