Artist Website Analysis

For this task we had to analyse a magazine advert cover of a chosen artist of our choice. As the song we choose for our A2 media coursework is “kiss kiss” by Chris brown, I have decided to analyse his website which will then help me create my own.

Bellow is Chris Brown’s Homepage

As soon as you view his webpage you immediately see a close-up of his face. This helps promote his image as the main focus is obviously on Chris Brown. Also “Chris Brown” is writing in a graffiti type font to help demonstrate his urban genre. As most his music is in the R&B genre this is demonstrated in his home page by the fonts and colours used. On the top right hand corner there is an option to sign up to his home page. This is so his fans can read all the recent information about him and have a preview of any new songs he is realising. Furthermore in the top left there is a link to Chris Brown’s Facebook page. Here you have the opportunity to his like his page and become member. This shows all of Chris browns fans. Opposite to this is a link to twitter where people can follow him and receive links to his new realised music.

On the left you have a drop down navigation bar. This tells you news about Chris Brown to allow all his fans to see what he’s been up two and when knew songs are being realised. Also there is a option for music, this is where people can view his recent music from individual songs to albums such as “FAME”.  The “media” option shows Chris Browns videos of his recent songs. This allows users to see and listen to his music in better quality rather than going on YouTube. The “tour option” shows where Chris Brown is performing next. This allows fans to see where Chris brown will be performing so they can buy tickets to go see him. it also allows fans to comment on the event. The “community” option allows viewers to see what people post to Chris brown and also shows the new members that have signed up. The “video and photos” option allows people to see his videos and his photos.

 

Under the navigation menus there is a link to Chris Brown’s recent album “FAME” this allows easy access to users to listen to his album. Bellow is like a “recent update” list where it tells you information when Chris brown will be performing next. Right at the bottom there is a “featured members” list. This allows people to become a member of the team “breezy” where they can gain access to exclusive content.
