Artist Website Influence: Rihanna

I felt that Rihanna, the biggest female pop star in the world, would be a good person to relate my artist to and mirror her image, as that is similar to the image I am trying to create for Jessy.

On Rihanna's website, there is a tab created just for her Facebook and Twitter pages, which can be seen here:

I therefore decided that this would be a good thing to do for Jessy's website. This convergence between an artist website and twitter allows the two mediums to complement each other and create another way of publicising the artist and putting them as much in the public eye as possible. Similarly to Rihanna's website, I incorporated a Twitter tab which sends the user to a page dedicated to Jessy's social networking.

For this I had to create a false twitter account for Jessy, under the username @jessyb_official. The use of the word official in this username makes it seem as though Jessy is a real pop star who may have impersonator accounts on twitter. I even tweeted a link to the music video to and followed a number of famous people on her account, such as Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and pop stars such as Jessie Ware, as these are the types of people an artist of Jessy's genre would follow on twitter. Furthermore, I incorporated a follow button and a tweet button so that the user could access Jessy's twitter via their own account without even leaving the website page.
