Research In To Web Site

To look in to the design of the web site I though it would be best if we looked at Lady GaGas web site as well as other girl bands own sites such as the Pussy Cat Dolls and The Saturdays, I found a massive difference in all three- Lady Ga Ga's was very weird with strong black backgrounds
and all her pictures where in black and white, this contrasted greatly with The Saturdays who had a light blue background and it was more cute, girly and friendly rather then powerful and different. This is obviously because both different artists stand for very different things for example there are many different hypocriticial sides to Lady GaGa she is both : - Feminist - The picture of her in the out fit of raw meat to show the way that women are viewed by men and the way she empowers women to be different and unique and does not care what people say of her. - Anti feminist- The sexy dancing and skimpy out fits and the way she is half naked in most of her videos the typical way of some of her pictures and videos.
Where as The Saturdays are more family friendly entertainment they still try to look good but more 'beautiful' rather then 'sexy' which opens their music up to a greater target audience, they are more smiley and cute rather then pouting and using cliche items such as red lip stick a, where as Lady Gaga has a big picture of her red lips and the black and red theme of the website are also colours which are sexy and can also have negative conotations such as brothels which relates to sex, proof that sex sells in some way or another. The Saturdays have a nice light blue background, again a colour which is open to any target audience both male or female and of all ages, to make it more girly they have pink bits as well as loads of other colours to make it bright and attractive.

We also observed how other bands who are sort of in the middle of Lady GaGa and the saturdays like The Pussycat dolls and Girlicious, and they used pink colours and one uses a siloutte of the band members and other uses a close up picture of the three of them which we intend to use. Also commonly all the ones I have looked in to have links to other social networking sites such as Facebook,Twitter and Myspace as alot of these music artists have there own profiles on those as well and they have links to those.
