4. The XX’s site conventions
By having the website with this design, The XX follows
several conventions . The minimalistic look of it represents
purity of the music they play. However, the style of their
songs is quite unique and the rainbow-like oil drop inside
the “X” may be there because they want to show that to
their audience. As we can see on the background picture,
the album was sold on vinyl, which makes the difference to
the melomans due to clear sound and the type of
equipment they own and so many people, who owns vinyl
are quite so simple web-side will be helpful for them to
unerstand how it works and to find required information.
On the other pages of this website, either white or black
background is used, following the concept of simplicity,
however, on the “lyrics” page we can see the same colors
as inside the big X
on the homepage
which connotes that
lyrics are inside and
they are the
important part in
their creative work
