Website analysis




This is the homepage of Pop Punk band All Time Low. We can see it has all the stereotypical conventions of a band page as it has tabs with different information on it, the band name and some images as well as advertising merchandise on it. This is very conventional as it is a layout used by many bands under the same genre as well as some bands not in the genre. The colour red is also conventional as it is not too bright or a too dark colour, this contrasts between bright colours and dark colours. However, we can see, whilst the background is a nice colour, its design is rather bland; this could lead it to be seen as less interesting.
 
 

 
This is another pop punk bands website, this time, We The Kings website. We can see it is more eye-catching than the All Time Low one, this is because it has a black and white pictured background, showing the band, but colour image in the centre. This makes the centre stand out more from the background.  However, where it is more eye catching, the information on the site is rather lacking as it only has tour dates and a store on it, this makes it not very informative and lacklustre of information.


 

This is the Dead by April homepage, they are an alternative metal band. Compared to the pop punk websites, this one uses darker colours but all together, has more information on it with even more tabs with even more information on, a very informative band website.  The darker colours of the website reflect the genre as it has a heavier, darker sound than pop punk. Also, compared to the pop punk websites, it is more visually eye catching as the background is a very interesting picture that looks good, as well as allowing to let the other parts on the page also look good.
