Final Website

I have finally completed my website for Noxa! I decided to stick with the theme of black and white that was presented in our music video and I am very pleased with the way my website came out. The site contains a home page, news, about, videos, gallery, shows and store page which are all filled with relevant content. This is the final site:

Final Music Video!

After a spending months planning, filming and editing our final sequence for our music video, "Narcissistic Cannibal", is complete! The final version includes the story of Noxa and her version of a personal purgatory, which takes place in a never-ending forest, that taunts her through eery signs that have been left for her. We mixed this in with artistic shots that are metaphors for our character and how she is feeling during the song. We have all worked so hard to create this video and we now, finally, have completed it!

Final Digipak

This is my final digipak which I am very please with. As the title of Noxa's first single is 'Narcissistic Cannibal' I decided that this would be an appropriate name for the album.  I went for a more artistic theme basing my digipak around aspects of images such as silhouettes, overlays and matching texts. The digipak displays both Noxa's innocent side but also her darker personality. This is the final product:

Digipak Back Cover

This is the back cover of the digipak and contains the list of Noxa's songs. Due to the colour of the image I may change to an entirely new image but for now their are currently 7 songs which all relate back to her character. The image contains a barcode and the picture was edited to look polarised and slightly more bleak:

Digipak Front Cover

My digipak front cover is complete and I am extremely happy with the way it turned out. I decided I wanted something simple yet artistic, two usually contrasting aspects of a image, but I really wanted something along these lines. I had previously edited an image were Noxa was covered in a paint-like effect and decided I wanted this to be my front cover:


I then made the image a little brighter so Noxa was stood out against the black:


I was happy with this as the theme one of our main colours, black, was largely present in the image. I then added in Noxa's logo but put a white glow around it to make it stand out against the black background:


I wanted to leave the cover like this but realised I needed to add the album title. I decided to simply go for the song title 'Narcissistic Cannibal as it can be considered Noxa's first song / music video. I chose a simple font that was slightly jagged on the sides as I thought it matched Noxa's overall persona. I then put a white glow around the text to match the artists name:


However I was unhappy with the placement of the title. I knew I wanted the artists name to be larger than the title as I consider this to be her first album and I wanted to promote her rather than the name of the album. I decided to make the title smaller and move it into the corner to make it stand out even more against the background. This is the end result:

Green Day Website Analysis

As a band that has produced several alternative rock songs and a band I am very familiar with I decided to analysis Green Day's website on how they present their star image and how they can be linked back to their fans.
