General Artist Website Layout

I have done some research into general website looks and layout for artists/bands that are the same genre of music as our band, i have looked at artists such as 'Sting', 'Rod Stewert' and mant more and i have found that there is a general layout that is common amung these sites i have found that the either the bakground of the actual site is a picture or there is a large picture of the band centered in the middle of the page so you instantly recongnise them when you lookat the site, there is also a common feature of tabs across the tops of the pages with things such as tour dates, ticket booking E.T.C., i think that we should style our site similar as these woth slight altercations, such as i think we should have large text in the centre of our page with an eye catching font to grab the viewers attention. If we can instantly grab the audiences attention at the instant they open he page then hopefuly they will continue to read on, I feel this would work better as the faces of the band would not be very well know so the audince might just click off the site.

I have also found that most of the sites i have looked at have followed a 'Three Colour Pallet' colour scheme where you have the main background one darker colour and then a very contrasting colour for the text, then the final colour is used for important links/news E.T.C.
