Website Analysis

As we made a website for our artist, i decided that before i started,  i should research pop genre websites to see what they were like, what type of images they used and also how the artist is represented. 

Rhianna
FIrstly i looked at rhiannas website as we was using her song for our music video. Heres the link to the website: http://www.rihannanow.com/music/
Here is a screen shot of rhiannas website:
As you can see from this screen shot, her website is very plain and simple. the colour scheme is black and white. The black text and images stand out on the white background and this is eye catching to the audience. The image on the front page of the website is a giant image of the artist herself. This is to show to the audience that the website is about her and it also shows us that she is the centre of attention. 

Here is one of the pages of the website: 
This is one of the pages on Rhiannas website. As you can see it is very simply laid out, the same as the front cover and it also includes very little colour and this is the same throughout her entire website. 
The audience is attracted to her website from the seductive images and also the fact that the black on the white background is eye catching. It is also a simple website that anyone of any age would be able to use. Girls would be attracted to her as they would look up to her and want to be like her, and boys may fancy her and like the images that are on the website.

 

Pixie Lott
The second website i looked at was Pixie Lotts. 
Here is the link to the website: http://www.pixielott.com/

Pixie Lotts website is very similar to Rhiannas in ways as it is very simply laid out. It includes images of the artist, and has a light background with dark writing. Pixies website includes more colour than Rhiannas and i found this website a little more eye catching. It uses different colours for different links on the website to make it easy for the audience to read and also the text is very simple which makes it easy to read. Personally, i find that the website represents the artist as being happy and bubbly with the pictures of her smiling and also by the use of the girly bright colours. 

Here is one of the pages of Pixie Lotts website:

This again, is very similar to Rhiannas Music page on her website but it just includes more colour. This may be a way of representing the artists personality. Even though they involve the same genre of music, they are both very individual people and are very different. The same colour scheme however, is used throughout the website, again the same as Rhiannas. 

The audience is attracted to the website by the look of the star and also by the colour scheme. Many girls see Pixie Lott as an idol and inspire what she does. Boys fancy her and want to find out more about her by her music. 

From my research i have found that pop websites are very similar. They all include a color scheme, they all have images of the artist, and they are all very simply laid out. This is what we will make sure that our website is like as we want to make sure that it fits in with the pop genre.
