The document analyzes conventions commonly found on artist homepages. It finds that pages typically feature a medium shot of the artist as the main image, with their name placed prominently to draw attention. Navigation links are often located at the top or bottom of pages. News sections maintain a simple, list-based layout with article images. Gallery pages showcase organized albums and allow clicking through images. Videos are accessible via thumbnails with descriptions. Tour and store pages may feature customized colors, fonts and images related to current projects. Common elements across sections include the artist's name and navigation links.
