Post 22: Band myspace's

In this post i shall be looking at bands myspace's to obtain information regarding how they create an atmosphere using color placement and imagery. I will be looking at bands scoping all genres.

The first bands myspace i'll be looking at is techno band The prodigy


Likes
How the green provides a neon rave sensobility.This colour is assosiated with the raving ethic due to its brightness
The rough imagery provides a DIY quality. This provides a down to earth quality

Dislikes
The grey clashes with the green making it hard on the eyes however it coincides with the rave asthetic

The next band is skate band set your goals


Likes
The imagery is quite artistuc and was drawn by one of my favourite artist's Drew Millward
The use of blue's and beige's provide a sombre look
Dislikes
Nothing

The next band is Sum 41


Likes
The blue colouring makes the web page feel very mature in the sense that the colours used can be assosiated with militarial colouring

Dislikes
The placement of the band at the top looks quite awkward uncomftable. They focus there stare outwards

The next band is the lonely island, They are a comedy rap group


Likes
I like how they incorporate there album cover into the page

Dislikes
I actually dislike the page as it doesnt feel very accesible to others, however it retains a sense of comedy

The next myspace is for alternative DJ Mark Ronson


Likes
Once again influenced by the album cover
It maintains a DIY sensibility
The use of colours makes it feel like it's from the 8o's

Dislikes
Nothing

The last artist's myspace is Morrissey. He creates alternative rock


Likes
How his face is the distinguishing factor
His face has become so recogniseable that it sells the records
Its quite simplistic

Dislikes
The colours are quite boring
There isnt much happening on his myspace
