Websites
Arctic Monkeys- News page A convention of most band
websites is that the front page has a news page, which is what the audience tend to go onto first. It is a easy way for the audience to find out what the band is doing when and where. Arctic Monkeys uses this technique although their website is of one basic and simplistic but they use a different approach by not including many images which varies from those of other bands. The website still though appears to look impressive through its clarity and labeled bold pages.

Arctic Monkeys-
Color, Typography and Text The websites use of color is very minimal,
through the use of a light cream/yellow. The
typography for the band name is bold yet fun as it
sways to the side and increases in size. The text is
informal when labeling information to attract to
the younger generation rather than the older. This
technique appeals and catches the audiences eye
line.
Various band websites include a image page
from private photo shoots to tour images. This
is a common convention for the audience to
see and even at times download these images
for use as a screensaver or desktop background.
It makes the website seem more professional
and adds a more personal touch to the website
itself. A example of this technique was one
from Kasabian’s website:

Color, Typograp
hy and Text
Kasabian’s website uses a huge
variety of images and a theme
color of red and black to
suggest its more young adult
appeal. The layout is
sophisticated and very
presentable, it provides a less
crowded layout. The text is very
formal yet it is shown in a
slightly ‘edgy’ way through
splashed paint and the dark
colors of red and black. The
logo of the band is shown on
the front page of the website
and it moves clockwise round
which makes it seem unique.
Foo Fighters-Tour Dates Page
Another convention a band’s website incorporates is a
Tour Dates page where their target audience can be
informed about the location of a concert they are
performing at or gig. The website also incorporates tour
bookings to allow people to book a ticket for a certain
tour, this is a easy way for people to book but also the
band can see how many people have booked to see their
fan following. This technique makes the website and band
look genuine, exclusive and inimitable.
Foo Fighters-
Music Page
The main convention of any band’s website is to allow people to see and hear their latest music form the latest to oldest music albums. This technique allows their audience to listen to their music for free but even give the band reviews on their music and listeners can even follow them on
a social networking site. This extra allows the band and the
viewers to see how many viewers there are following the band at
that moment in time.
