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.
