The project
The goal of Smoke City Records is to offer a new take to an old business model. Where a traditional record label would sign a musician to a contract where they recuperate payment for services from future earnings. Smoke City offers the services of a record company on a monthly payment basis. The aim is to make musician services affordable, accessible and performance-based.

Solution
As I was working with artists, I had the benefit of using already available, rich visual content.
Design
I augmented artwork artists currently had available from press releases, album art and social media to create a modern, image-rich site layout.
Videography
I used clips from various music videos shot by the group to design the main landing pages.
Music
Using a music player plugin, I upload cut snippets of featured tracks and uploaded them to the website. I then added links to Spotify, iTunes and other popular stores and streaming services. I then posted the players on the website a labelled all of the artists’ music.
E-commerce
Using the Woocommerce plugin and some additional subscription management plugins, I set up a web store which hosts several services available for purchase on a one-off and subscription basis.
