Linkin Park - Website Analysis.

Although Linkin Park are not necessarily in my genre specifically there music is somewhat similar to my track and they share the same conventions in their videos etc.. I really like the layout of their website as it looks really spaced out and clear, but cool at the same time.


The homepage is covered by what looks like an ice angel creature and its arrow points down towards the bottom of the website. The main thing I like about it is the massive image and the colour scheme which gives it a heavenly/cloudy theme which I could incorporate into my website as my track is about religion etc..

The home page is a lot longer than the rest of the pages which I like, it is laid out like a blog and you can scroll down several pages which gives you a picture of the band, their latest tracks, news, and promotional things such as joining their "underground" service. The extended home page is a good idea which I might use for my website, Instead of ramming lots of information onto one page you can scroll further down and space it out.

Another interesting element to the website is hovering. As you hover over an object, eg one of their albums or a news story it turns black.


The embedded YouTube videos on the page makes it look like their is a TV on the website

There is also a forum on the website which I haven't seen before.

Overall this is a great website and the colour scheme and images used will be something similar to what I use, for example the smoke theme but a bit darker.
