Promotional websites

Promotional websites


Florence and the machine




I thought the Florence and the machine official website is very clever as it represents the artist very much to what her music is like. Her website shows main conventions of average promotional websites. It clearly shows a news and blog link this give the audience a chance to give comments and find out essential news for tours and album releases. Like many of artists websites Florence and the machines website shows a music player of a number of her tracks, she also has a music video presented ready to play for the audience to show her new track 'Cosmic love'. Both of these ideas gives the audience a chance to hear the artist music for free and at the same time if Florence and the machine is never heard of by a person then they can listen to her music free on the website. Colour/images and typography has been used in a clever way on this artists website. The moving images of red lungs corresponds with her album names 'lungs'. I found the website to be very different by the colour.






I analysed the foo fighters and found their website interesting. The website shows main conventions as it automatically shows an image of the band. It also has a scroller of images of each of the bands albums covers this advertises the band and gives an idea to the audience what each of their album covers look like. The colours contrast well with the type of music that is involved with quite heavy music with quite heavy dark colours.


















When looking at eminems website i thought it suited the artist very well, very simple. The webside shows different links that fans may want to see, such as news, videos and events. It also shows a photograph taken of him from his new video 'not afraid'. The colours choosen for the website fit well how the artist is normally portrayed and promoted as very boystries and shown as a real person with subtle colours of black, white with some red i thought shows this. This is also shown through the typography which is very simple just like the artist himself.
