This website homepage is for the singer Fergie whom I have also focused some of my music video research upon. It is evident that the three main colours which are used on this website home page are black, white and pink. These colours all connotate slightly different meanings however with regards to the singer they represent sophistication, power, purity and fun. This can be applied to the genre of her music as she is a Pop artist, which is generally associated with upbeat songs, they are powerful as Pop songs are generally the most listened to genre of music when it comes to the top 40 therefore they are very influential.
The text used for Fregies name is very dramatic with lots of swirls, this attracts attention and reflects Fergies image of being very feminine yet sophisticated because the style copies a sort of old fashioned hand writing.
The different page links have been set out along the top of the page, this is generally where they are usually placed so that they are easy to find. The right hand side of the page promotes Fergie by displaying her different types of work such as her own footwear label and also the black eyed peas band which she is the only female member of. The left hand side of the page contains a large image of fergie, this tells the audience straight away that this is what the artist looks like, her clothing has been chosen to match the overall look of the website by having the same pink coloured shorts to that of the text which shows the link between the artist and her name.
This website has been produced for the artist Lana Del Ray, the home page is very different to that of Fergies as when you enter the website the main thing that is focused upon is her current music video which starts playing instantly, this may be done for dramatic effect and to capture peoples attention to watch the video and hence listen to the music. The text used for her name is very simplistic and stays consistent with the headings of other pages however is larger. These headings are once again at the top of the page so the website is easy to navigate around. Both of the above website home pages also have twitter, facebook, youtube etc. links which the fans can follow the artists on, this is once again promoting themselves to the public.
Rebecca Fergusons website home page differs from the other two in the way it uses the length and width of the page, to see everything which is on the screen you have to scroll down and also side ways, this may be done to make the audience look further into the page rather than just taking a quick glance however I also feel this could be a disadvantage as people may get fed up of scrolling etc. Once again the main links to other pages are at the top of the page which is conventional for almost any website. The artists most recent music video is available to be played on the home page, this is very beneficial as it is easily available and shows the audience any new songs she may have released which consequently promotes her work, links to her twitter and facebook are also available. The main colours on this website are red, black and white, these are used for the text boxes and the actual texts. These colours may have been used because of their connotations, white being innocent and pure, black being serious showing she is a serious artist and dedicated to her work, and red emphasising love and passion which a lot of her songs are based around,
