website analysis 7 Deadmau5

http://live.deadmau5.com/

Deadmau5 is a Grammy Award-nominated and Juno Award-winning electronic DJ/dance artist known for his trademark helmet and popular live shows.

When the audience first enter the website they are greeted to deadmau’s home page the layout is very simplistic and easy to navigate and explore

The background colour of this website is black. The colour black could represent power. Deadmau5 was one of the original EDM producers has had a very successful career becoming of of or if not the best producer. Therefore he is very powerful in the music industry and the background portrays his power that he has on the industry.

In the bottom left hand corner of the homepage screen there is picture portraying who he is and his mask that he wears during a festival. this shows how powerful and strong his brand that he has created is in the fact that people can recognize  the producer just by looking at images of his mask.

When the audience enters his website the page that the audience are viewing is called Deadmau5 TV this is a page where if he live streams the views can watch the live stream directly off this website rather than going to a new web page to interact with Deadmouse. This feature to his website is extremely efficient to his audience and his fans as when deadmouse is streaming they can directly talk to him via the chat bar in the right hand side of the screen.

The website is asymetrical as they have parts which fail to correspond to one another in shape, size, or arrangement; lacking symmetry. this makes the website seem quite busy with there not being much room and blank space around the screen

His website is different to the websites that i have already analyzed being that it has a more complex layout and the second you enter his website one of his songs are playing or a song that he has supported is playing. Next to this there is a twitch chat bar. He has added this to his website as he sometimes live streams on a website called twitch. This is effective as people can just go to his website when he is live and comment on his streams

There are many tabs at the top of the page. The first one is his tour dates and when u click on this tab there is a quick transition to show all his upcoming tour dates that he will be performing live on and behind this there is an image of his trademark helmet that he is known for. The next tab is for news and everything that is happening in deadmau5 life. The following tab is the message board where he can post anything about events VIP etc. The next three tabs at the top centre of the page are media, releases and merch. From these his audience can find out anything about deadmau5 and where he is visiting

The font looks like it is serif font this is a formal and sophisticated font which tells the audience about his music. This font contrasts from the background helping the text stand out making it easier for the audience to read the text.

The font colour is white and the background is black. these two colours contrast one another the best therefore as a reader the text will be clear and easy to look at.

Tiestos website is very simplistic with only two tabs at the top of the page( tour and shop) where you can click on to go straight to his tour page and his shop page. However if you scroll down the page you will find the shop and the tour dates for Tiestos shows. His website is based on a black background.

The top of the page shows Tiestos new song and his album artwork for his new song. This is a good way of marketing his music as the first thing that the audience can see when they click on his website is he latest music. when you scroll down you can listen to his latest music and again this is a good way of marketing his new music as people will decide weather they like his songs or not.

When you keep scrolling down there is a page for Tiesto’s shop and when you scroll down all of Tiesto’s tour dates are shown. This website is effective as it is very effective and the audience can find out lots about Tiesto and his music

In the top right There is a tab that says “tour” this is where Tiesto’s audience can click on to look at his tour dates and when he will be performing and the country that he will be performing in. This tab is very convenient for the user as they wont have to go through and browse the internet to buy tickets for his tour dates and they can buy them straight of his website therefore this will save time for the audience wanting to buy tickets.

At the top of Tiestos page is a video that in large white fonts tells the audience his songs in his album. The font is very formal which tells the audience that clicks on his website that his songs are serious. The font is white as i stands out from all of the backgrounds that are being played while the name of his songs are being played. The images are very bright colours, i am not sure what any of the images are meant to be but it represents a party like atmosphere when entering his website which links to his type of songs that he creates. This layout is very effective to his style and genre of music he creates.

The background colour to this website is black, he has used the colour black as this colour contrasts with all the other colours on his website so everything stands out. helping the audience find their way around the website.

When you scroll own again the audience are shown a link and images to Tiestos shop. this is very effective as the audience can get a glimpse of his merchandise that he is selling even before clicking to the hyperlink which will send them to a new page. If the audience do not like the images that are shown on the screen they will just keep scrolling down saving them time, however if the audience like something they see from these images they will click on it and know what to buy straight away.

When the audience scroll down again they will see the page that they may already be familiar with if they have clicked on the tour tap at the top right, however once again they can easily book tickets to his shows if they want to see him live making it very convenient for the audience.
