Everything Everything are a fairly new and up-and-coming band and their website fits the motif of their debut album 'Man Alive'. The cover art for their digi-pack is the background they have used; also used as a back-drop during live shows.
Common Conventions...
This website, as far as I'm aware, is conventional. When you consider it is most likely the management that take care of a band's/singer's website, that gives for a lot of demand for shots of the band as well as opportunities for visitors to the website to buy merchandise or new releases. In this era, where everyone wants to be able to access whatever they want from wherever they want, you must include as many updates on the artist(s) in only the first/home page of their website (for example: Twitter and Facebook updates, tour dates, new releases and merch as well as recent and general news. Music player and video player.) Everything Everything's website contains all of these things. However, unlike many websites I have looked at, the band does not have any input, such as a blog that is visible on the website or their personal Twitter accounts. The navigation is positioned directly under the band's name and the whole website is centred to give the visitors a simpler and direct view. Their are also links to the band's Myspace and Youtube site etc.
The Constant Design Aesthetic...(Font Size/Style etc.)
Everything Everything's design aesthetic is apparent from their website. The bright and vibrant colours are relevant to their band motif. The website is aesthetically pleasing; Fonts are all the same as well as colour pallet.
Aspects I Would Use In Our Own Website...
- Embedded video (ours) and anything else that is visually pleasing for a visitor such as consistent design (font size/style) pictures available to download, merchandise and recent releases as well as updates on tour and general and the artist(s) Twitter updates being streamed. Links to artist(s) Myspace etc. All things that our chosen audience would be interested in and wanting.
- A clean look. For example, centred and not too cluttered, clear theme and navigation system.
- The look of Everything Everything's website would'nt necessarily fit with Regina Spektor or Scouting for Girls but shows the band's motif well and this is definitely something we would like to achieve.
