Bruno Mars
First page
The first opening page of the bruno mars website
displays a constant repeat of a music video, his new
release 24k Magic, which is written at the bottom left of
the page to make it clear to the audience. This therefore
shows that the website is up to date as includes new
releases to therefore stimulate brand image, and
recognise the song. The style of the music video fits the
song genre as it’s upbeat and has a party style which
fits the conventions of R&B/pop. The writing on the page
is in a white to contrast the music video, to therefore
make the most important text stand out like ‘bruno mars’
which is used at the top left of the page. Furthermore
there is a menu bar both at the top and bottom of the
page, which are hyperlinks to other pages. There is also
a link to ‘subscribe’ to the page in a yellow colour so it
stands out on the page to therefore catch audience's
attention.
