Iconography Research



For my iconography I chose to play of the name. I used a font similar to the one of the letters on Hollywood hill for the first part of the name and played of the sort of more grungy looking fonts for the undead part. I chose to make it look more horrory, not unlike fonts used for horror survival games such as Silent Hill or Left 4 Dead. For the colours I chose to use dark colours such as blacks and greys, half to represent the more urban feel to their music as well as sticking to the conventions of rock and metal groups's having black in their iconography. I think I now have an icon design and colour scheme that I'm happy with to use for my homepage.

Track Choosing

Originally we had the following songs to choose from:
Pretend You're not Alone by Keane
Crush by Pendulum
Death Breath by Bring me the Horizon
Worth Dying For by Rise Against
Paradise Lost by Hollywood Undead

In the end we chose Paradise lost by Hollywood Undead because most of the group liked it and it has a lot of potential narrative wise.
