intrigues her fans

song to them.
The filter on the
music video gives
the website a
vintage look
rather than the
classic look –
black and white.

3. Ella eyre
Ella’s website portrays the classical look through the black and white, which makes her
look like a classic artist. However, the different colours in the background and on the link
bar make her look different to the classical artists and makes her seem different. Her
website follows the classic look of having the artist’s name in big font at the top of the
website, immediately informing that the website is hers. Ella also has her iconic logo
which is recognisable to her fans.

website
there are
links to her
ages on

tour and show
dates and a
shop where
her
merchandise
is sold. This
allows her
website to act
as an
advertisemen
t for her
music, music
videos,
merchandise
and shows.

4. Marina and the
diamonds
The name and logo for the singer and her band are at the top of the website on a plain black background rather than on the patterned
background. This means that the name stands out form the background as the text is white against black. There are also numerous links to
her different pages on social media and websites to allow her fans to connect to her and get easy access to her pages. She has other
pages on her website showing music videos, pictures, songs, up-to-date news and the group’s store.
On the home
page of Marina
and The
Diamonds
website the
name of their
latest album is
in big, bold,
coloured text
making it the
first thing you
look at when
you click on to
the website.
This advertises
their latest
album, making
their fans and
the general
public aware of
their new
music. Below
the title of the
album are links
to website
pages where
they can buy
the album and
a link to the
part of her
website that
shows her
music videos
for her latest
album.
Marina and
The
Diamonds
background
to their
websites
home page is
a pattern
that looks like
stars. Even
though it is a
pattern and
not a plain
background
it still
represents
Marina as a
classic artist
through the
colours black
and white.
The rest of her
website’s
background
is black,
reinforcing
the classical
look.

5. Hayley Kiyoko
The background of the front the website is a simple photograph of a white
engraved picture frame with the background and the frames contents being
black. This portrays the classic look in a interesting unique way.
The website home page
has four links, which are
links to her pages on the
internet including social
media. This connects the
general public who visit
her website to her. Her
name is on the website
home page twice. The
main title is blended in with
the black background not
making it very visible.
However, the second title
stand out and is with the
text advertising her remix
of her new song. This
makes the general public
look at her song cover art,
which may lead them to
listen to the remix.
The links to Hayley’s other pages on her website
inform her fans of her tour dates, about her, show
her music videos and photos and allow people to
listen to her music and purchase her songs, albums
and merchandise on her store.
