When it came to choosing an artist for this project, I wanted to pick someone whose art inspires me in many ways. One of my favorite album/album cover combinations in modern music is Lorde’s 2017 album, Melodrama. Lorde’s music and visual aesthetics have always gone hand in hand and I find that her art has the ability to encapsulate a moment in time in very unique way. On one hand, this made designing a fan page for her music a challenge because I wanted to created something timeless that would not feel out of place with any of her albums. On the other hand, it was a joy to build a site showcasing art that I admire so much. In the end, I decided to let images guide the aesthetic of my site. I used colors from Lorde’s most recent album cover (Virgin) for my text colors but used a more timeless very dark shade of blue for the background.

I referenced the same CSS file for each page in the site which can be downloaded and viewed below. I used an external font (Eurostile 2) which I will not add as a direct download in respect for the creator. Instead, feel free to click the link provided in the paragraph above. Below is a link to the CSS file I wrote for this project.
