2. LINKIN PARK WEBSITE
FRONT COVER:
The home page shows the artwork
from their latest album "The
Hunting Party" the website has
chosen to put this image on the
home page because it is the first
thing you see and so the first thing
you see is their new album. I will
also keep this in mind while creating
my own website that I can also use
images of my artists latest song or
album to put on the front cover of
website to get audience attention.
The image is of arrow shooting down and because of this it indicates to the viewer to scroll down
where they will then find a quote from a song on the track called " The Hunting Party" and an image
of the band.
3. COLOR:
The color theme of
the website is kept
black and white or
we can say grey and
black. Almost all of
the pictures and
photography of
linkin park are
either black and
white or in shades
of dark blue. They
do not have any
bright or colorful
pictures so this
theme also
matches their
photography of
previous works. FONTS:
Font is kept very simple sans serif. It is in dark grey (almost black)
color which stands out on white and grey background.
4. Okay so when we scroll down we see a quote from a song on the
track called " The Hunting Party" and an image of the band. Again
they are promoting the "The Hunting Party" by having lyrics from
the song and now they are attaching the lyrics and image to the
band. Again these are all useful things to consider when it comes to
making my website.
We can see they image they used
is also black and white which
compliments the website
including all 6 members of the
band.
Then under the set of quotes we
can se some links of social media
accounts like facebook, twitter,
Instagram, google etc.
5. • This section of the website is
created so people can find out
where Linkin Park are performing,
interviews of the band and Images
of the band. This section is useful
because it provides the latest
information about the band so that
the viewer can feel close to the
band because they are being
updated as to what the band is
doing by creating this bond it
increases popularity for the band
because people will talk about what
they have seen on the website, they
might share an image or quote
something from one of their videos
or get some friends to see them live.
I feel I should create a similar
section on website to form that
bond to see my artist can increase in
popularity.
NEWS SECTION:
We can see the same font is used here as in the front page. On the
background we can see light grey clouds and sky. Like there is
written “mike on product hunt live” this line will definitely attract
the audience especially the fans of mike shinoda they would want
to get updated by his every act so writing these kind of pull
quotes informing about latest events will definitely lead to more
viewers.
6. MEDIA SECTION:
When we click on media we see some
categories written in white on dark
grey background. Here we can select
the type of media which we want to
see for example music videos, lyric
videos , photos etc. here is a
screenshot of the photos section:
Then we can see some more categories I the photos section. I really
like how their website is organized from head to toe. Viewers will
not come up with ant difficulty which searching for anything on
their website. I will also try to make categories in my website.
Same is with the music video category:
7. COLLABORATION SECTION:
Here we can see the customized
shoes of linkin park. On the top
we can see the years which also
adds another point to the
organization of the website.
8. STORE SECTION:
When we click on the store tab we see 3
categories of stores including merchandise and
music store.
The website has a store section which is created to sell band merchandise, concert tickets and their music. This section is
created for the fans who want more than to just listen to their music this section was created for the fans that want to wear
the bands name on a T-shirt and want to see them live at a concert. This is an effective way of promoting the artist because
it gains additional revenue for the band through merchandise and adds another platform for someone to buy their music.
This a section I will definitely include on my website because it will gain additional revenue for artist but will also raise
awareness of my artist because people will be walking around in T-shirts and hoodies with my artists name on it.
I absolutely love their website. They have made it
so organized and have a ton of categories for their
fan’s support.
9. COLDPLAY- WEBSITE:
This is how the colplay
timeline looks like. When
I first saw it looked pretty
confusing to me then I
spent some time on it
and and found an Icon
“filter by categories” and
clicked on it to se
categories. Here u can
see the categories.
11. NIRVANA
WEBSITE-FRONT PAGE
MISC EN SCENE:
Same as linkin park we can see the
latest album of nirvana “in utero”’s
main picture on its website. The color
theme is derived from the logo of this
album which is peach and red and skin.
Nirvana usually uses very weird images
in its albums and this one is weird too.
We can see a bar under the logo in
black color which shows categories of
the website. One the right side we can
see the logo of their album “in utero”
and beside the logo we can see the
same figure with wings as we can see
on its album;s logo.
FONTS:
They have used their original logo which is in serif font. It is written in plain
peach color because the background and the overall look of the page looks
too busy. The text on the website other than the logo is also in simple font
with plain colors.
We can see some links to social media like fb, twitter and youtube
on the top right of the black bar.
12. NIRVANA NEWS:
When we click on the news tab
we see list of news regarding
nirvana.
They have written the title of the
news big and in capital letter
with peach color and the
detailed description of every title
is written below in small font
with white color. The big pink
text looks attractive and catches
audiences attention.
Then here on the right side under the picture
we can see the words written “order now” this
will also attract their fans and they will order
the album.
13. BIO SECTION:
When we click on
the BIO tab on the
website we see a
list of all the
important
happenings in the
lives of band
members. Also
they have listed
their achievements
and dates.
I guess I will
also include
this section
in my artist’s
website
because here
we can give
every
important
information
or any
achievement
which helps
audience to
get updated
regurarly.
14. We can see the albums and songs of nirvana in
“MUSIC” section and also there are links to buy it like it
says “official store- amazon”. This is a good way to keep
people updated about their latest albums in stores etc.
MUSIC AND VIDEOS SECTION:
Videos of different concerts and performances are in this section
15. STORE: -We can see in the store
section they have mentioned
prices of their albums and
exclusive deals. This way they
are keeping their fans
updated about their latest
album covers and other
deals.
-Here we can also see that
they have focused their
latest album “in utero” and
are offering different deals in
different prices.
-Under the title we can see
the description of the
product and important
information regarding it.
