For unit 7, our task was to research media production companies and create our own.
The business that I created was called Gollop Productions. My company would produce music videos for young/unknown artists and bands. The logo that I created is relevant to the business plan as it is a pair of head phones with the name of the company underneath. Headphones are obviously related to music so I thought it was the perfect image to use and it looks modern and clean.
The reason I decided to produce music videos with my company is because I enjoy making them more than other things like short films etc. This is because I can be creative with it and add all sorts of special effects.
For our company, we had to create our own website.
I am really happy with the way my webtite turned out. I think it looks modern and the colour theme is exactly how I wanted it! Im really into black and white designs, and thats why I went with these colours. I also feel that the black and white colour theme makes it look more professional, because sometimes having too much colour can make a website look tacky.
My website is easy to navigate around and includes all the information that clients would want to know about the busiensss.
We also had to pretend we were writing an email to Illicit Web Design, who are a company that specialise in creating websites and other graphic related things for companies.
We had to email them, asking them to create a website for our business.
I think that the website that I asked them to create would be much better than mine because obviously I’ve never created a website before and Illict Web Design specialise in doing so. However, I like some aspects of my website which I like, that I didn’t include in my email to Illicit.
I made some mistakes on my website which I couldnt change because I had already published it. There was a spelling mistake, and also I put my prices of production far too low.
So next time, if I make a website again, I need to double check my work before publishing.
I think if my company was real, then my website would be pretty successful as, like I said, it is easy to navigate around, it has a proffesional look to it.
