Websites

I looked at many different websites, particulary from girl bands so that I was able to see what kind of pages they included, what kind of format used and how the whole websites were presented.

Some of my favorites were The Spice Girls Below.



I really liked the idea of under "THE GIRLS" page there was a different photograph of each of them separately. As you click on the picture it comes up with a small bit of information about them. I also like the fact that there are each of the members signatures next to the photo. This is different to in the Girls Aloud website while clicking on "The Girls" it simply comes up with information about the girls:



However this is a photograph of all 5 girls, where if you hover the mouse over a girl it highlights her and brings up her name.





Another website I really liked the style of was Beyonce's 'Events' page because it clearly listed the date/city/venue of each of her concerts in a simple straightforward layout that fans can easily make sense of:

other yellow website

Here are a couple of other single covers from Girls Aloud that the band did not release as albums, to show the different formats and ways of posing 5 girls


I think this cover is really interesting because the girls are based around a wall so that they are able to use it as a prop to sit on, lean against etc. They are all wearing something white which links their outfits together in terms of colour. I also like the contrast of the white wall against the black background, and the way the band name stands out in white letters so you are able to read it clearly.



This single hit cover is quite different to their normal style because the cover is a collage of only their heads and shoulders all placed behind the letters of the band name 'GIRLS ALOUD' designed in a quirky format. There is no clothing scheme as only the girls skin is revealed and they are all looking various ways with their eyes. The title is at the top left hand corner.



I was surprised because this single hit cover is very simple and plain compared to the rest of Girls Aloud covers as it doe not even have a photograph. It is a purple background with huge silver letters of the band name and name of the single to stand out against the purple and catch your eye. There are also various black lines tangled around each other which was I think was probably the inspiration for the design of the cover of the album in which 'Tangled Up' was in (see earlier blog).

However, my favourite cover is the album cover of 'Out Of Control' as explained (see earlier blog), which i will use as an influence to my own album cover.
