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:

KASABIAN- COLOR, TYPOGRAPHY 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.
