2. What will we gain from analysing a
webpage?
Two Door Cinema Club are an
indie music artist like our chosen
artist Lauren Aquilina.
By looking at their website I
believe this will really help me gain
some inspiration into what my
group can create for our own
artists website that will fit into the
genre conventions of the indie
genre.
3. Colours
When I began analysing the website’s homepage the
first thing I noticed was a very simple yet colourful
website display that creates a continuous style
throughout the website.
The colour scheme used throughout this website is
attractive for both a male and female audience due to
the use of unisex colours which are bright yet gender
neutral meaning more of an audience is targeted.
4. Typeface
They have used a different typeface for
the bands name on the website to
create product identity for the band
and create a logo.
They have used a sans serif typeface
which created a casual look to the
webpage.
5. Links
The website includes links to the Twitter,
Facebook and Youtube pages for the artist
available straight from the website. This is
convenient for fans and acts as a hub for all
these different social media websites. It also
provides links for those who want to find
more information out about the band.
There is also a links page on the top toolbar
which gives you more links to fansites, tumblr
and record labels.
6. Widgets
The website automatically plays the
artists music video once the page has
loaded. Personally I think this can be
annoying as is worth asking our target
audience if they like the feature before
we include it on our webpage.
There is also a link to buy the artists
latest album. Having built in widgets
that link to different websites is an
accessible easy way for the target
audience to find all the information
they could want quickly and simply.
7. Widgets
There is also a live feed of tweets
from the band on the right of the
screen. This allows even easier
access to extra information about
the band for fans.
There is also a QR code so that fans
with a android phone or blackberry
can take a photo on their phone with
a QR scanner application and it links
directly to an application for
portable band information.
8. Information Available
There is information on the latest most up to date
new on what the band are doing, when there
next gigs are, what shows there have just been
etc. This allows fans to keep up to date with the
band’s activity and find out when the band will
be where they live for a concert.
There is also information about upcoming
releases in the form or singles and albums. This is
important as it tells fans when they can buy the
music which is ultimately going to determine an
artists success.
9. Images
There are very few images used on the
webpage. The only images featured is
the album artwork and the video at the
back. However there is a link to a photos
page on the top toolbar which has
further images. Each image is supported
with a twitter and facebook link to it so it
can be shared via social networking
sites. The images used portray the
typical style of photography which the
target audience of the indie genre use.
