With the completion of my final book cover design I started to begin the accompanying media. Originally I created a poster (shown below) and got carried away so created a website too.
My other poster idea was going to be based upon this one, created for the movie Superman. Quite fittingly one of the most iconic things from Lord Of The Flies is a broken pair of glasses. I would've changed the background to an intense red and orange and added a scratchy texture to make it look rougher.
Below are my final website designs
Whilst creating these I experimented with a number of compositions. It was suggested to me that I should also try something with an intuitive design. After looking at and gathering a selection of these kind of websites I showed them to my classmates to gain their feedback. The general consensus was that although some of the designs were slick and interesting they wouldn't necessary be relevant for my product. The point of my website was to sell an item so users wouldn't want to think too much. The websites with exciting designs were usually some sort of design company, showcasing their work. This is why I finally decided on a simple design.
I've used a background image relevant to the book. I then added a cutout filter on Photoshop and reduced the saturation until it was black and white. My intention was that the only thing on the website to be in colour would be the book cover so that it stood out and people would remember it.
I have used a basic composition so that users are familiar with its layout and can therefore navigate through it easily.
