The artist I've chosen - Dua Lipa - is a female pop singer, but is self labelled as being 'dark pop'. I've used a lot of the conventions typical of a music artist's website, such as the social media links, the large logo, where to buy her music, tour dates, merchandise, and her face as the first thing you see. The brighter pastel colours contrast the dark greys, which reflects her genre of "dark pop' and makes the pictures and writing stand out against it. The pinks and purples make her seem girls and flirty, but the black and dark grey add an edge to her look, and the flower she's biting comes across as rather sensual.

I have used Dyer's star theory by involving Dua Lipa as a commodity, and including ways to buy her music and merch which the management makes money from. She is also present and not present at the same time, as you can access her social media, listen to her music and see her in videos, but she's still a 'star' and the fans don't know her personally. Her image is a construction on the website, and not necessarily a true reflection of herself.

I liked using Wix because it was really simple to create a well designed website that's easy to navigate. I think my website looks effective and is a good representation of the artist. Comparing it to her actual website, it is not that different at all. I'd used some of the same pictures and colour schemes, so I think I was successful.
