This is the portfolio content of www.IanLunn.co.uk.
I planned for this to be released around the same time as the band's 2005 CD. The graphics and design are similar to the CD artwork.
As there weren't any other fansites for this band and the official site didn't have any user participation - other than the forum - I felt it would be a good idea to have a lot of the content user generated.
I planned for users to be able to comment on the majority of additions to the site; news, images, lyrics etc.
I was hoping to generate a small amount of revenue from the site so I could get a better hosting package allowing for databases and the like. This would have been done through the banner ad at the top and a "You may like" content box to the bottom left offering CD's of a similar genre which would have been linked to an Amazon affiliates program. These "You may like" additions could have also been user generated.
At the bottom of the page is the "Quote Goat" that displays random lyrics from the band which was a novelty idea that would have hopefully interested the user and made them participate in commenting on those lyrics.
I never finished the site as I made it towards the end of university at which time I had a lot of work to do.
