2. As soon as the webpage is opened, Eminem’s latest music video will
load instantly making the user listen to and watch his work. This will
then prompt the user to purchase CD’s and such. This is effective as
no matter what the user does, this will always be the first thing they
see which can allow for development of the star image and help
with promotion.
3. The header at the top of the homepage
instantly features the artist immediately
identifying the star image. Eminem further
stands out due to the uniqueness of his
clothing compared to the other people
within the image; due to his white hoodie
in comparison to the dark clothing.
The star image is also emphasised through
the dynamic image slider that is featured
underneath the header. As you can clearly
see, the first image is of the artist in an
interview. Once the user clicks the arrows to
change the image, it is again of the star
image but in conjunction with his songs
4. The navigation bar of the website features different options for the user to visit the artists
store, an email sign up, the ability to watch his videos, look at events, the option to play a 8bit game somewhat similar to Donkey Kong and finally a link to his tumblr. The text is
consistent in terms of style, size and effects as each letter has a lined-based texture.
At the end of the navigation bar are links that will take
the user to the respective social networking and social
media websites. The images also are consistent with
the style of the rest of the website as the start of as
simple grey icons with the same texture and turn red
when the user hovers over them. Additionally, this
could be used to identify the target audience as
generally teenagers are the ones who will be using
these websites hence that they have these pages
specifically to advertise and promote to them.
5. What to include in mine
• Ensure that the star image is apparent
– Put the music video as the main aspect of the page.
• Promote the artist as much as possible

the star image.

artist.
