On our website, we have 7 tabs: HOME, BIO, PHOTO GALLERY, MEDIA, TOUR DATES, CONTACT, MERCH. Whereas 'The Queens Of Stone Age' website they have near enough most of these tabs on their homepage. However, the have little icons of different social media accounts in which if you click on them you get sent to their page on that social media platform. They also have another tab called 'Store'. This is where, they sell their own music as well as merchandise and accessories. On our homepage we have a picture of our band and the name of the band.
Positioning:
On the first page, we wanted a picture of our band that will stand out to anyone that will click on the website. Therefore, we decided to use a black and white image against a dark grey/black background This was also to express the bands start image as an authentic and real band. This was done through using a dark shade as the background and having the band in the clothing they were for their gigs as this represents them being a live authentic band. We chose an image of them all together showing they are close and friends but also serious with what they do and how they want to pursue their careers staring at the viewer which again gives a personal feel to the website. For a new band this is necessary as they have to expand their target audience. This is completely different layout to the 'Arctic Monkeys' as on their home page they don't have any pictures representing or demonstrating who are the members of the band. However, the Arctic monkeys are an estabished band thereofore they do not need this.
Font& Colour:
For our home page, we made the font for our title (the band name) to be in big bold font which we did. This grabs the audience and viewers attention and you will be immeditly attracted to the title in which you would see the name of the band. However, the sub-heading and the tabs at the top are all in a different font. We felt this was a rock style rather than a pop style font such as on 'The Killers' website. They are a well established band and that could be the reason why they haven't got a rock style font as they don't need to sell their star image.
The colour scheme of the website is black, white with a hint of green on some pages. The black and white give the website a classy feel as well as illustrating them as a rock band as they are dark colours. it also sows they are an authentic band as they are natural organic colours. This is similar to 'Biffy Clyro' website however they have used the same colours but the other way round. They decided to use black writing against a white background.
