To get to grips with some of the artists look and background i researched using their website and looked for some fan groups sites.
The killers website is very stylish on the opening page with the main focus being a latest video. There is a focus on the music with a link to listening to the music and a way to buy the music at the bottom. also there is a social media link with is real time to keep fans up to date. The navigation bar at the top gives links to a variety of areas. 'showtime' is the link to when the band are playing live. This first shows that the killers have a large focus on the live performances.
The next area is 'music' and links to being able to buy the music direct from the site. This page is dominated by images of the album covers.
The 'media' tab is simply the youtube videos of all the music videos. This whole section involves large images to symbolise which one it is as each is iconic in its own right.
'The victims' is another reference to the death of someone in the album hot fuss. also the fact that the band are the killers and the followers are the victims. The victims page is actual like a group of fans which have access to pre sale tickets and further information of the band.
The band also has a forum under the name of 'sweet talk'. in this there are many forums and even a calendar of the events and anniversaries of the band. The whole image is red themed to resemble the blood of the victims.
In all the website is very quiet and simple. The simplicity applies the product across constantly and allows for the fans to have an area but their are no other special features involve within the website. we will look to transfer this simplicity across to our ancillary tasks.
