The Transformer Man image was already in place before the creation of the website, as Transformer Man always DJ's in a black suit, shirt and tie. We created a Transformer Man logo playing on his stage wear. Then we created a front page using flash around the design brief and to fit in with look of the logo. We had to convey darkness, mysteriousness with a comic book feel. We Created an interactive front page where different parts of the picture navigate to different parts of the website. We also created a navigation bar through out the rest of the website that carries on the comic book feel. The Transformer Man logo is repeated in the side bar of most pages.
To keep people up to date on Transformer Mans latest gigs the main part of the site we created is based around a database. The website displays the information from the database through the website. We also created pages to allow Transformer Man to edit and submit information to his site so it can be kept up to date and fans kept informed about gigs and releases. Gigs can have web links to the venue and music releases can link to the website selling the music. There is also an editable news feature along with links, download pages, biography and description of the various services Transformer Man offers.
