We researched using established artist's website and digipak as they convey a strong sense of star persona and they also use a consistent font and colour throughout the website and the digipak. Prior creating the website we have taken some stills from shooting the music video, therefore we intended to incorporate those stills into the website. Furthermore I have looked into different website designing sites, the free online website creator are very rare and wix has the most functions and most user friendly therefore I decided to go with wix. I created Valentina Vow's
google adress to be able to use a clear html. To be able to choose the best font that we wold use consistently throughout the website and the
digipak we tried finding a font that screams Valentina Vow in 'DaFont' but we could not find one until we looked into wix's font and
found 'DRIOD SERIF' for the album title and 'EB Geramond' for Valentina's name. Because our artist have been on the cover of Seventeen
Thailand Magazine we used the scanner to scan the cover through into my computer to be able to insert the file into her 'About V' page. Photos of Valentina V are adjusted in photoshop to maximise her beauty. Moreover for our store, we drew our products in Illustrator before exporting it to JPEG. and upload it onto wix.

To conclude our website does follow it's convention althought not exactly the same to make it more original which would represent our star. It has clear navigation and distinctive colour 'white marble' which conveys mysteriousness with its pattern and innocence in its colour, representing our star. Additionally the colour gold which suggests glamour and high status which represents our target audience.
Rather than comparing our artist to other contemporary artists, I think that the website is more about the star persona the company wanted to create. How the company plans to market the artist in order to appeal to their target audience therefore I am comparing our website to Adele, Sia and Lorde's; since they all have similar star persona we wanted to create for our artist. Adele's deep mature voice, Sia's faceless debut and Lorde's faceless digipak design.
