The Task
In this project we worked with the development of a website for the 11 people large soul band Soulfunction. The main goal for this project was to improve their promotional materials, but we decided to focus primarily on their website.
Qualifications
As this project was my first practical project the main lesson was some initial understanding of what it means to collaborate with an external partner, but it for sure also provided me with knowledge about what it means to develop a promotional website for a soul band. In particular I find it interesting that we had to investigate what values, colours and ideas that lie behind the soul concept in order to use these facts when developing a website.
Results
The result of this project was that we developed a website by the use of Adobe Flash that were designed by focusing on the aforementioned values, colours and ideas that we knew were important for a soul band. The band decided to use a flash intro/teaser movie that we developed on their website. This movie is not shown on their website anymore but you may see how it looked by following this link.
