Taking Back Sunday Official Website (http://www.takingbacksunday.com/)
This website has used the large picture of the band members in a wide close-up shot above the bold writing of the band name 'Taking Back Sunday'. The use of dull colours in the background allows the foreground activity such as titles and other text and videos to easily be read and seen clearly as there is little distractions to draw the eye to outside of this information.
There are many pages in which the viewer can visit to access the information or media they were looking for specifically. These pages include 'home', 'news', 'bio', 'music', 'photos', 'videos', 'diary', 'action', 'community'.
The news section includes articles covering the updates of personalised band items such as christmas '09 merchandise. It also lets the viewer know the up and coming dates the band is playing and its whereabouts allowing the viewer full access to gain entry if required.
The video section doesn't just include the predictable music videos but also has personal interviews with each band member making the fan feel they know them better as people and also creates a closer relationship between band and fans.
On the home page there is a box specially made with all of the tour dates and where they are with a link to more information on each. There is also a section on the band's Twitter and their latest 'tweets' displayed.
Another section they have is one that gets the viewer involved and that is uploading your own photos of TBS to their website.
Kano - Official Website ( http://www.ka-no.com/ )
It uses dark colours in the background and this allows the text to become vibrant and easy to read. This means that every bit of information on the website can be accessed easily and there is nothing difficult for the viewer to see meaning no information can be missed out by an accident. All of the colours flow well together making it seem very tidy and organised so it is aesthetically pleasing for the viewer.
There is a section on how to contact the artist and give your opinions on his work and also comment on the actual website.
There is also a section featuring the artist's music videos without having to open a new window or follow a link.
To allow the viewer to keep up with the artist's latest news, gigs, concerts, releases etc. there is a section for this too on the left.
On the bottom right there is a section with links to view relevant information about the artist and also leads to similar music by other artists.
At the top of the page is a striking font with the artists name next to a large medium close-up shot of the artist himself. Below the artist's name are pictures of the album covers he has released and their names. They all have links to how to purchase them and also how to get more information on them.
Ditty Bops Home Page
This website is very unique as it only uses hand-written drawings and writing. The background is extremely simple allowing the text to flourish over the top providing a clear contrast in colour meaning that the text and images are clearly visible to the viewer.
