Website Research

2. FONT
• Bold thick lettering that is often used to
represent Rock culture/music as the
similar lettering appears on many Rock
related marketing advertisements such
as: posters, magazines and websites,
which therefore it is genre related as
AC/DC are a Rock, Hard Rocking band.
• The font that is used for each individual
title is consistent to follow the theme of
the website, Not only that but the font is
clear and large, making it easy to read
and understand for whoever enters the
website.

3. COLOUR/ THEME
• Again the colour and theme for AC/DC'S
website is consistent to make it easy for the
website viewers to follow. For example, the
background of the website is many images of
the band performing live, but filtered in Black
and White so that it doesn't contrast with the
rest of the attractions on the background,
making the website less visible to understand.
• But with the back ground being photographs of
the band it is a good marketing technique
which sells the band, as their band logo is used
many times, so therefore it will catch the eye.
• Colour that is used to represent the band are
very traditional Rock Band colours, such as
Reds and Blacks, which are repeated
throughout of the website to follow a consistent
theme.

4. BAND IMAGES
• Pictures of the band are used to
market and advertise the band to the
public, by using pictures of live
performances show their popularity,
which will therefore attract an even
larger audience with them being
popular.
• Band images are also important for the
audience and fans benefits so that
they can come online and share them
with other fans. For example there are
JPG images you can download and
print them of for posters in your room.

5. SOCIAL MEDIA/ FANS
• Links to other social networking sites and
the work of the band is also important so
that fans can stay updated with the band,
otherwise interest could be lost.
• The website also has a news letter, where
fans can get emails from the website to
keep up to date with the latest information
about the band. For example, Tours, fan
mail and exclusive fan images.
• The website even has its own section for
the fans who entre the page where it
shows fan images who have gone to band
performances. Information about other
AC/DC fans and how long you have been
a fan member for.

6. WHAT INFLUENCES CAN WE TAKE?
• The influences I have received from this website
and that I could use on my own when coming to
creating one for the band is that Colour and Theme
is one of the most important keys when coming to
create your website as you want the website to be
attractive and to catch the viewers eyes.
• Furthermore you want to make sure that the theme
and colours that you do use are genre related
otherwise there wouldn't be much understanding
within the website.
• Because the band also have social media links, we
want to use these on our website as well to promote
our band even more and create a larger audience.
