GBHS A2 : Website research

This is the home page of Travis Scott's website and in its centre is the eagle head, which is practically this artists brand image. It is 3D and rotates in a 360 degree circle in a consistent rotation. It seems basic but is actually very cool and relatable to those that already know the artist.

The top right link shows the recent and upcoming tour dates, locations and festival/gig name.

This is the music link and to be honest I'm quite disappointed, its a very basic and boring page, for some reason there aren't enough album covers or anything like that; this could be a glitch, and it is vital it be fixed otherwise this could mean less people are purchasing this artists music.

The radio link is in line with what I stated above, the website needs some serious improvement considering he is such a well-known performer.

The video link is really good as the video instantly starts playing once you have clicked the link, this almost urges the audience to watch the video.

This is the home page of the Post Malone website, the bars that are seen at both the top and bottom are constantly scrolling like a conveyer belt, I am slightly confused about the chosen photos; one is of a small part of his beard and the other his eye. I personally would have chosen some of his notorious shots like in the White Iverson music video. There are also links to his social media pages in the top right corner, so as to publicise this artist even further.

If you click on the link named catalogue, you go to a page that advertises all of Post Malone's current albums, songs etc. Furthermore, you can click on each individual one to where they are available to purchase.

If you click on the tour link it shows every place in Australia that Post Malone is set to tour in as of yet, when you click on the city that is suitable to you it shows all the dates and times, including what ticket website to use. It is very clever in that it has the shape of Australia as if it is on a map, and I'm assuming this is done for every Post Malone tour that there is.

If you click on the videos link, it comes up with all of the artists biggest and most well-known songs with their appropriate vevo music videos.

The last link leads you to the shop which I have seen before, but the artist currently hasn't got any new merchandise on offer.

As planning to set up our artist website we have produced research on a similar genre artist. Due to our artist image and genre of alternative-rock we decided to research into coldplay's website. The website that they have has a very vibrant and simple layout with the separate links on one side and the various information placed clearly across the website. They have used simple logos and a colour scheme to present each tab.

This is the home page of the FLATBUSH ZOMBIE website, we can initially see the name of the group at the top of the page and underneath this are the various title links that will take the customer to the other pages that are available. The page then proceeds onto the their newest album that has been released and from this it can be ordered and purchased. Also they have given a preview of one of their songs that is included in this particular album name 'lava' with the official music video on top of that.

Next I clicked on the link title 'tunes' which brought out a selection bar on the right of the page, in this bar it contains all the other albums they have produced which can be clicked on to see the all the songs and videos that the album contains.

I have noticed that when you click on the different links an animation around that link appears, for example, when I clicked on tune there was a moving volume bar going up and down, with the merch animation there was a t-shirt that appeared, with the film there was an old fashioned film tape reeling upwards, and finally with the tour link a bus appears that is driving down a road. Anyway, back to the original point, where I was going to talk about when pressing the merchandise link and sidebar appears with a list of all the products that are available with their given price.
