Artist Website // Mac DeMarco

I took one of the template that the website creator Wix provided and turned it into a website for one of my favourite artist. My goal was to portray him in the way that he would portray himself if he set up a website. This means that the people who visit the website will be able to tell what kind of artist he is.

HOME PAGE

On the front page I put a photo that I feel represents him well. On the navigation bar, there are sub pages "home, tunes, live shows, words". This along with the photo shows the casual nature of the artist.

TUNES

LIVE SHOWS

 WORDS

Lyrics to one of his songs 'Passing out piece of me' shows that he cares about the music that he writes.


Mac DeMarco's USP is his casual attitude and sloppiness. As you can see from the photo, he's no well groomed or well dressed which attract the audience to him. He breaks the stereotype of most people in the music industry today who are clean cut and well dressed. His website should therefore convey this carelessness.


To evaluate the website that I created, I had to use the template for artists as a basis of my graphic design idea, but for one of the first websites that I've properly created using the Wix website, it went okay. I really like the minimalistic aesthetic when designing things and it almost always fits with the theme of what I'm creating and it does fit in this instance.
