RESEARCH - Research for ancillary task


Looking at two pages of the King’s of Leon website I identified that the colour scheme is kept consistent for the entire website by using the warm colours (red, orange, yellow and brown) on every page.
Analysing the pages of the website has enabled me to identify the common features of a band website which has allowed me to gain an idea for what I will include in my website I am producing for this task.

I also looked at other band websites of a similar genre to investigate if they have a similar layout to each other or if they are different. An example is Kasabian’s website which I looked at and I discovered that it had a similar layout to Kings of Leon’s website.

Comparing the two home pages, their layout consists of three columns which list information about various topics such as the band’s latest news, music and videos. In addition, they have a consistent colour scheme and style used throughout the website which is a concept that I identified for Kings of Leon’s.


I looked at another website to ensure I had looked at a wide range to improve the accuracy of my research. I also looked at Muse’ website which included the same concepts of the previous two, these were the same layout and using the same style throughout the website.  



Researching into the features and styles of alternative rock band websites has allowed me to identify common conventions which means I can produce a plan for my website taking these into consideration and using the style that me and the rest of my group have established which we are going to use in each of our ancillary products to ensure they link together.

I also discovered the typical content of a music website which I have taken into consideration to produce a layout of what my website will include:
