Similarities

• There is lots of dark colours.

• Images of band performing live as the background for the sites.

• Can see the typical instruments in the images, drums, guitar bass etc.

• Can see the band performing and not just a single person.

• White font colour because of dark backgrounds.

There banners /logo are just there names and have

large font sizes to make them stand out.

Aside from the maccabees there is a little design done

on the banners/logos to make them look aesthetically

pleasing, but there isn't huge design done like with hip

hop logo. This shows the artists care about there image

but don’t think it’s the most important aspect.

COLOUR

From looking at the images of webpages in the first slide I can see a trend of using dark

backgrounds for indie rock bands, while other more established rock bands would use more

vibrant colours to help separate themselves from the rest. They also tend to use white font

this makes it stand out, and easy to read. Although I will be using dark background to give it

that rock band feel I wont be only using those colours, and will look to use some slightly

brighter colours like light blue and orange to give it a more vibrant look, but not too bight

otherwise it wont look like an indie band. Also try to use different font colours instead of just

white to avoid making the website look dull. Below are the sort of colours I’ll be using on my

webpage.

I think that this logo wouldn’t suit the band because it looks

too horrific, connotes a theme of death . the bands that

would be suited to this are heavy metal bands.

All though it’s nice to look at it wouldn’t suit the band

because it’s too feminine, and looks like the sort of banner

a girl hip hop group would use.

I think this one is a working progress towards the sort of

banner the band would use. It’s bold, and clean but not

quite artistic enough for this band. I think this logo would

connote the band is quite boring as it so plain.

I think this would suit the band the most as it’s in low

case connoting the band isn't too serious which would

attract a more childish and younger audience.

I think this would give the wrong idea of genre to the

audience as it looks like the sort of logo a hip hop artist

would use, because it’s so bold and has capitals

suggests the bands really serious which there not.

The font style is very gothic and gloomy connoting the band

plays heavy metal. Although it would be very easy to

remember since it so artistic and also being in capitals it

would suit the band because connotes wrong genre.

I think that this would suit the band only because of

the design, it looks like snow which relates to the

word arctic in there name and will allow the audience

to more easily recognize it as there banner.

This logo has the same problem as the other it’s not

artist enough, so it connotes a boring style of music

from the band.

This font style would suit the

band because it’s a less

formal style connoting the

bands casual image. Also the

font style is very easy to read.

This font style definably wouldn’t suit the

bands because bold and would send out the

wrong image of the band, of being very

formal. With it all in capitals makes it look

very serious, and the font style is very

antique, connoting a very old style of music

while the band are more modern.

I think this would work as it’s formal easy to

read and connotes an simplistic image of the

band in that they care about there audience

and how easily they can understand there text.

I think this font style is too formal, and is the

type of font you’d see in a newspaper to get

across a very important serious matters. While

the band is more of relaxed and nonchalant.
