Mushroomhead - Website Analysis.

To give me some inspiration for making my website I had a look Mushroomhead's website to establish some conventions and see what I would need to include in my website. As you can see the opening page is bold and striking, grabbing the readers attention straight away. The homepage has a background image with the website in front of this. The bands name is clearly wrote at the top in a creative font and there is a picture of the band members looking at the camera which gives a sense of intimacy and it looks cool. Although the title of the band is in a crazy font the actual website font is clear and simple as it needs to be easy for the viewer to read.

As you can see there is the main bar stretched across the top which gives you options to go to: news, tour dates, merch, albums, videos, gallery and contact. The main thing of the homepage is the bands latest news including things such as who they are going on tour with and them as appearing as guests on radio stations ect. Down either sides there are links to their new album and social media sites such as Twitter, their latest tour dates and their latest videos and photos. 

On the news page of the website their is a little box which gives you the latest tweets from the band and you can also follow them on Twitter, In addition to this you can tweet the band directly from the box.

At the bottom of the website you have all of their direct links to YouTube, Apple, Twitter and Facebook.

The rest of there pages are simple layout just like the album page, everything is clear and simple.

 

 

Overall I have took a few things from this website, I really like the background picture of the band, I think I will use this and do a photo shoot and have my artist in the background. I also like the twitter box and the simplicity of the site.
