After carefully planning, I decided on changing the design of my website, the old one was lacking on the navigation and usability side and would've been a nightmare constructing. So I decided to do further research and looked at other artists webpages and layouts, and one artist who's website I liked a lot was Tinchy Stryder's, it had everything on it content wise and navigated extremely well. So his website gave me some new design inspiration and I started from scratch and created fresh designs for each of my webpages, I included a navigation bar just below my banner, a main body where all my content would be put, new social networking buttons, a mailing list which may be included in the final construction but not 100% sure yet and a bottom navigation bar.
Page contents:
Home Page (index.html)- Overview of website, displaying what content the viewer can access, the link called "Blog" will take the viewer directly to my external blog page.
About Me (aboutme.html) - Auto-biography on my current music career as a artist and music technologist.
The Music (themusic.html) - Page displaying all my current and previous tracks, where the viewer can listen to them and also download them at the same time.
The Photos (thephotos.html) - A portfolio of me performing and working on productions.
The Videos (thevideos.html) - Embedded music videos, interviews, live performances and fan updates.
Blog (www.youfoundfame.blogspot.com) - Link on menu bar will take the user directly to my external blog.

The colour scheme I chose will be my final theme, I used Adobe Kuler to create this and the reason why I went with this theme was I didn't want a website that was too vivid, I wanted something that was easy on the eye for my target audience, original and not dull.
http://www.youfoundfame.com is not only my official artist website it's also promoting me as an up and coming music technology specialist, I'm aiming my website at not only the fans of my music but also people that want tips on live mixing, studio mixing, song-writing, promotion etc. As I go along on this course and learn new things, I want to pass this knowledge onto the ones younger than me that have a passion for music and want to better their skills. The way I'll pass this knowledge on will be through tutorials that'll feature on my videos page and if the user wanted more information all they'd have to do is message me on Facebook or tweet me on Twitter, it's that SIMPLE!
