Websites

Duffy
-Simple layout with a line of links at the top, a picture on the left (that doesn't change troughout) and information such as blog, pictures or gallery on the right.
-The page for videos is different because the video takes up 3/4 of the left of the page whilst the list of videos is on the right.
-Colours are neutral to match her videos such as blacks and whites. These mute colour are also used to draw attention to the information and image.
-The artists name is on the picture in the same style of her albums.



http://www.iamduffy.com/index2.html (Compared to the other artists the fact that the adress is 'i am duffy' is significant as it shows its not all about her image, and gives more away about her personality)

Cheryl Cole
-The opening page of her website is the news page with up and coming events as well as what cheryl has been up to eg. Glamour magazine cover
-She has a link to her biography which seems to be common among the more commercial artists. -Name is again at the top and in the style of the album cover, providing consistancy.
-The background is plain black, perhaps to draw attention to cheryl or not draw attention away from her.
-The video page is set out the same duffys
-There are adverts down the left side of the page (the same as Pixie's), in comparison to Duffy's page which is plain and uncommercial as its about the music and not the artist whereas Cheryl, as a more commercial artist, promotes her image much more.

Katy Perry
-
Katy's website is alternative to other commercial artists and to enter the website you have to go through the 'unplugged' page advertising her concerts.
-Once you get into the website there is a full body image of katy as part of the background and in the style of her image.
-Her name is bold, on the left (different to the other artists), at the top and the same as on her album.
-The links are bellow this but within graphics that are again in this same style.
- There are again advertson the left hand side, advertising her concerts, and products; with information on the right of this. the information includes links and previews (entising to the audience) to the other pages within the site including news, 'pix', telly and 'dear diary'.
- The colour scheme for the the page is baby pinks and blues that match her outfit.
-Finally she has her album in a playlist at the top that plays whilst your viewing the site.
