Website analysis -Angel

Below are two screenshots of the website, the screenshots are showing two main shows of the website, one being the homepage and the other being the being the news feed.

This shot shows the homepage, it is a persons first view of the website, it is also gives the impression of the artist and gives a good view of how the rest of the website will look. The website incorporates two main design layouts, with the top bar at the top and the page slider, meaning instead of one specific measured site with no scrolling necessary, in this case there are many more parts to the site, that are seen once scrolled down. After the top main menu bar, you see the large angel logo on a white background which stands out, on that is the social side, left side is the likes for the website and on the right are the other social networking sites. Underneath this is the promotion of his new album, with pictures and features including a link to download the album. After this is another section, showing the other boxes for; tweets, latest gigs, mailing list, music and photos sections in these boxes. The site has a dark theme, colours that match with the rest of the layout, pictures and theme colours. After this is the picture below and the description.

This is the second shot of the site, as you can see this part shows the news feed on the main homepage. This feels like another of the sites main and attractive features, this section is like an area for a blog, an area where the artist posts links, videos, pictures and comments to connect with his fans and website viewers. In this case due to the artist not being a major, major star and overall is still rising he probably passes on what he wants or even does this section by himself. More well known artists such as Akon, do get their record company or a specified person to upload the right stuff although other larger artists who are well known such as, Rhianna do upload themselves but she does have to talk to her manager or record company before posting some specific stuff- for both of these examples it could be for social sites or their own. Overall artist' websites are an area that an artist can represent themselves and show what they like and respect, similar to a social sites and blogs. In this particular shot you can see Tupac(2Pac), a very world re-known artist who has passed away, but is still very commonly remembered and known and for most people is known as the king of rap. Although back to Angel's post of a picture of a great rap artist, this could mean and possibly represent  that he is a great icon for Angel and maybe, someone who he respects greatly and would possibly like to get as big as Tupac was in the world for the music industry.
The font and pictures used throughout are provocative, bold and very attractive. Any person who stumbles onto the website will be very intrigued into searching around more, there is a mix of a street and pop artist here, with some dark side, colours are dull, mainly grayscale, with black and white. There are a lot random pictures, which show and give the sense of the artist's character which can be good, as this gives that sense of connection with the fans, they feel they are getting to know someone who they look up to and appreciate especially as an artist and maybe towards the person they really are, giving that behind the scenes feel.
