Editing the Store

After finishing off the merchandises, the only step is to upload it on the website. At first I had a bit of trouble understanding how to use it because the items I have added did not show up on the page and I wasn't sure why. However, after playing around with options I have realised that it was because I needed to create a 'collection list' for the items to show up on the page.

Final Merchandise Designs

These are the outcome of the roses that I've created on Illustrator for these merchandises.


This is what the t-shirts looked like. I have decided to have 2 designs for the white t-shirts and only one for the black t-shirt because I thought white looked better with the bright roses.
I have also designed some photo cases, mugs and shoes.

Creating Merchandises

For merchandises, I created my own logo/design that's recognisable throughout all her merchandise. I incorporated the idea of roses in the design from the graffiti wall we filmed at in Kingston. I personally created the roses on Illustrator using the same colours from the graffiti.


I then used the design and placed them on images of white shoes, t-shirts, phone cases and others that I found on the internet with Photoshop.

Website Backgrounds

Here are some of the backgrounds I've edited. For some of the pages I had to play around with the image to get it to fit well with the things I have placed on the page.

Website Backgrounds Editing

To make the website even more like an artist's website I needed to personalise the background to suit the theme and genre with the artist face. I used Photoshop to edit my photos and I found that all my photos are too bright to have the words on the website to show up so I had to make it seem washed out by painting a very light/transparent layer of white over the photos. 



Here is an example of the process on how I edited my backgrounds.

Beginning My Website

 I have started on my website for our artist. After looking at some templates on wix, I have decided to stick with having a series of photos on the front page rather than having one main image of the artist so it makes it more interesting - especially when each image links to a page.


I did most of my photos and backgrounds on Photoshop so they look professional and I made sure everything fits on the page.

Website Initial Sketches/Ideas

After researching about websites I have came up with a rough idea of how I want my website to look like. Here are some rough sketches of how some of the pages will look like. 

For the home page, I would like the artist's name 'Matilda Childs' to be at the top in a bold san serif font so it stands out. This will also be like a 'title' that shows up on every single page acting as a logo for the artist. Instead of using one image of the artist I wanted to use a series of images and for each one of those images I would like it to link to a page.


These are more sketches of what the other pages will roughly look like - e.g. how things are laid out and what kind of features will be on each pages like the music page includes a Youtube video/music player or the store page having a cart and options for each merchandises displayed.
