You Me At Six
The image above shows the You Me At Six Official Website, it is laid out in 2 main columns with a title and video at the top of the page. The two columns split into sections with band iphone apps, information about members of the band and then news about what the band are currently doing or have done. this is all on the left hand side of the screen. On the right hand side of the screen is the other column, this includes an add for there latest album, and a fans post section showing what the fans have been saying to them. And below this is ways to follow the band on social networking sites, such as: my-space, facebook and twitter.
The links to other sections for the website are at the top of the page, below the title and video, these are in a good place as you don't have to scroll to find them when you enter the website and they are obvious to find and are clearly readable for everyone.
The colour scheme of the website is a green and orange theme,, this matches there latest album artwork and colour scheme as well as the way headings are shown. The masking taped You Me At Six title is shown like this on the artwork and therefore they are keeping the two styles very close so that is there identity.
The video and the pictured on the homepage help promote the bands image and songs as well as the advertising used on the site to show there newest album out. This helps the band gain recognition my the public who are more likely to know what they look like and sing now.
The design of the website bits in very well with the way there album has been created, the video and pictures to the unique and quirky feel. This is shown with the old style Polaroid type pictures and the retro games console video player. Which makes the website very unique and interesting.
Overall I think this website is extremely well presented and designed. I think that the many different media types used as well as the advertisements put into place help show off the bands well known songs and also allows visitors too see the members clearly and easily. The colour scheme of the website ties in with the bands overall look and feel making it noticeable that there album is the way it is. I also think that the way the website is split is very good as it is considerate about fans, but also updates them on what's going on.
