More Website Analysis

Snow Patrol Website

I have just looked at the website for snow patrol and again I have found it uses a three colour Palette and that the colours all contrast each other very well making all of the information stand out. I think that this is a very good tactic as the dark background makes the text stand out and the audience will be instantly drawn to the information. I fell that we could take idea and mould it for our website not Necessarily have the same colours but the same idea of having one main background colour then two contrasting colours for the text, I feel that if we did this type of layout then our website would be very effective because all our text and information about the band will stand out to our viewer. I also like the music playing on top of the site of the site as it gives the viewer a taste of new music from the band and upcoming tracks it also gives the band chance to see which of their songs are played more than others, this is a good idea as they can see how to aim their music at their audience. I feel that we could do this also as being a new band if we played our music when the website is opened then if the viewer just happened to stumble upon the site they might hear the music and possibly like it, this could then end up the viewer looking further into the band and possibly buying the song E.T.C.

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.
