ARTIST WEBSITES ANALYSIS
KATY PERRY https://www.katyperry.com/
VISUAL ELEMENTS ON HOMEPAGE
•Katy perry's website seems quite minimalistic, simple format, the colour scheme matches her new album 'Never really over' as its her with glowing skin and has a summer vibe to it as its closer to summer then a thick border which is a bright orange and its fluent throughout the homepage as it highlighys the sub titles of her page and theres a menu bar which is very simplistic. Firstly, her name is featured right at the top, is bold and has a permanent marker font but isnt so big. Theres a slide show of songs that Katy has been featured and the text below changes to tell you what the song is called and the fonts is very thin, quite mature for her website. Further down,Katys offical featured videos and has a seperate link to 'view all' which that link has more infomation as the homepage shows parts of the information which is repetitive . There isn't any infomation about herself,mostly about her music.Then moves onto the store, which shows three items then a view all button on a orange bar so it stands out to the audience,linking to a seperate page which is handy for the audience. Then theres photos another slideshow of Katy's and ZEDDs new music video, keeping summer vibe with the orange. Overall, the website portrays Kety Perry as a vibrant and happy person and having a positive effect on her auidence. She suit a younger audience as shes very bubbly and has a lot of excitement which relates to a younger audience.
•Theres a latest news area and social media area which is commonly used on artist websites, which is positioned at the bottom.
Overall, the fonts are similar, as theres a different font for important titles then more smaller fonts so it seperate that format and making it clearer.
Shawn Mendes http://www.shawnmendesofficial.com/home
Visual effects:
•first comes up with new single (ad) which gives you an option to stream or download it then says contintue, giving it an easier access . Firstly, theres a self moving slideshow, colours are nude browns (maroon) and off white, like a spanish vibe as his album is senorita. It promotes album, which his face distorted with follwers which is very interesting but the tones of the picture mixes wellwith the overall theme of the homepage. option to download,has arrows so people can see his latest songs. Most of the top page is about his new alvum/single and nothing really about the artist. Tour dates (banner,slightly tilted), giving it like a celebration moment which seperates the section between his singles and his tour dates in the USA but its very simplistic and straight forward, which happens in most websites i've analysed.There are videos of shawn's new single and snippets, giving a taster to the audience which is a good promoting technique. It has a vintage filter which links well with the overall theme. Theres also updates and social media towards the bottom which is placed towards the bottom. His shop has a seperate link. Overall the homepage seems to be introductions of other pages on his website. Overall, Shawn Mendes seems to be more sheek, more artistic on his album and trying to relate his work to the summer season as its already summer.
George Ezra
http://www.shawnmendesofficial.com/home
•Homepage's theme is a black and white colour scheme and keeping it very simple which is very common on these websites. His name logo seems to be very hippy and relating to like Jimi Hendrix font (70s) and its all in lower case which is aesthetically pleasing. Firstly, theres a video of his new single which is places in the centre and is easily visible so the audience will be concentrating on that section. Theres a text box saying 'the new album -staying at Tamara's - listen now'.
The homepage lacks in photos of the artist, mainly focusing on the new single which is quite bland as most websites show the artists face and albums and previous works. The homepage is minimalistic and easier to worl with so younger people can easily see his new song and is easiky accessible.
The representation of the artist ismt really there as its focusing on his worl more than his self, and hes represented very stripped back and wants to put his music out there, rather than himself. However, you can findout where he goes for his travelling because he has a journal part on his menu bar. Although, in the menu bar, there are a few photos of himself. There isnt really a biography of George Ezra, which is common on artist websites as fans may already know who they are but it maybe be found important to new fans to see who the artst is. His name is placed at the top of the page which is similar to the Katy Perry website and it sjows its his website.
Overall, the fonts are similar, as theres a different font for important titles then more smaller fonts so it seperate that format and making it clearer.
