rihanna website analysis

Rhianna's fan website is set in strong feminine colors, its mixed with shades of dark purple, dark pink and black. this reflects her attitude and personality to her music.

her homepage is filled is filled with text and pictures. the navigation bar gives you a lot of options to browse through her website such as 'Rhianna' that gives facts about her self and there's a blog that you can follow to see what shes up to live. 'latest news' where you can receive information about new albums or concerts and events. there are loads more links on the navigation bar to click. Rhianna's website is a very good example of a artist's website. she keeps in a very close relationship with her fans.

website research chipmunk

i have chosen to research chipmunks website. his website is very simple and short, there is no navigation bar to navigate yourself to other pages, there is only a home page however it does give you options to buy chipmunk merchandise and to become a fan of chipmunk where you would have to make an account to log in and receive exclusive special offers on merchandise and exclusive events. there is chipmunks latest video on his homepage just like every other artist websites.

in my opinion this is not a very good website for fans, it doesn't enable fans to engage with their artist. having products like this as an known artist could loose your fans.

website research angel

The first website i have chosen to research is the artist i have chosen to re make one of his song. Angel is getting more and more famous after every song he makes.

for his website, his homepage has his logo and his famous catch phrase 'this is angel' this is printed and the front of the page, just under it, it has his latest video that plays as soon as you click into his page. if you scroll down , you can find latest pictures and videos that angel his took himself, this is a very good way with interacting with your fans, letting them know you keep in touch.

The navigation bar includes the headings home, news, music, live, gallery. this is like most artist websites where you can check their music, attend concerts, check personal pictures and find out latest news about your artist. 

relation to our own production

To relation to our own production for album covers. this is what i am going to follow:

- large image of the artist
- a look/feeling from the artist that reflects the album name
- the artist name writen big and clear
- album name written in a font that stands out
- song names on the back
- artists picture within the inside

research album art tyga

This is an album art from the artist Tyga. As an artist Tyga sees himself as someone big, royal in the music industry, this is why he made this album named 'careless world, rise of the last king', his name was placed largely onto the top right corner of the album with a gold plated effect, this indicates wealth & power. the image of the album is a picture of Tyga the artist sitting on a big gold royal chair, ones that you would see kings sitting on but in this case he is the king so he has included the king chair but made it into his vision of a king chair, this was gold and bigger than other chairs. there is the same chair on either sdes of him however these chairs were smaller and empty. this shows that he is the last and only king, this reflects back to the album title.

digi pack research adele

This is an album cover from the artist Adele. they is very little colour on the front cover, she has used a grey scale effect for the whole piece however part of the album name is highlighted green, she most probably wanted this part to stand out after all it is the album name and you want everyone to remember the name. everything else has a grey scale effect, this is because of the songs she has included within the album. The majority of songs she has included are about love broken, loneliness and being unhappy. you could gather this from the image she has included on the front of the album. The front image is a picture of her self looking down with her arms crossed. her facial features and jesters  makes her look fed up and hurt.

This is the back cover of her album, this is very much like her front cover of the album cover, howver we see a picture of her staring at the audience. adele still looks sad and fed up but this is the feeeling she wants to give off.

digipack research

This is the front cover of 50 cents front CD cover. as you can see he included him self as the front cover, mid shot of him holding a gun towards the audience. the gin and the clothes he is wearing resembles his lifestyle during the period of his song. if you've heard 50 cents songs, most of them are about guns and living the gangster life. the image he used for his front cover he reflects of the songs he has written for this album

The text style is a stamp like text, this fits into his gangster background. the colour of his name is in red, this indicates blood which reflects to most of his songs.
