The photo above is from artists Avicii's webpage. Their theme and style is very clear. Only using 2 colours on their 'Gigs' page makes this simplistic. I am not sure if this works because all the other pages are in colour and give off a whole other style in my opinion. I like the navigation system at the top of the page. It's simple and easily readable. The text is also all in capitals making it stand out at the top of the page and especially on a black background. The Avicii logo in the top left is in white just like the the other tabs in the navigation. When you hover over one of the tabs the background of that particular button turns white and the text becomes black. I love how this works but I am not sure about the black and white colours for the content on the rest of the page.
Above here is the webiste of the club Ministry Of Sound in London. Once clicked on the drop down (burger) icon you are confronted with the following options in this style. Again the black and white colour theme is being used. The texts is rather small and organised in a rather strange way. Next to each link there is just a blank black space that looks empty. All the tabs are orginised underneath each other. The logo is presented at the top of these which is also really small. The logo isn't exactly simple and in my opinion and logo needs to work small and large and in this case it doesn't. You can still recognise it but I'm not sure it works.
The above screenshot is the website of a music festival in Portugal called Boom Festival. It's a festival of techno, drum and bass and dance. The artwork on this website is very full on and detailed. I love how they have a background scene of artwork and I feel the artwork is also very drug influenced. For an events music website they have 8 tabs for the navigation. The text is fairly small and washed out against the colourful artwork. The font choice is quirky and reflects the music festival but is too stick like and thin to work with the other content. Black background is shown here again.
This is the homepage of Boom Festival. There is no scroll within this page or website as its just one big page spread. The title of the music festival is down the left hand side which i found strange. The first part of text you read on this website is 'Thank you Boomers!' and this is I guess a thank you to the people who attended last years festival as a thank you note. I do not like the way theres two navigation bars that don't fit together well. The more important bar where news, programme etc is involved is too small and isn't centred to the page. The above links are social media tabs such as Facebook and Twitter along with other random buttons like site map. This is oddly placed to the upper left of the page and some of the tabs don't belong in that bar such as site map shouldn't be along with Twitter for example.
The screenshot above here is a website from Dj's Amine Edge & Dance. The popular dark background is present again in this website. I think this is used so any other bright colours used over the top really shine out. In this case yellow. It also represents Dj and club lighting and the black could be the background in a club. This website is fairly bland and simple. Something I haven't come across yet in my research is a bottom placed nav bar. There is one at the top as well as well as a log in/register button but I feel the most important infomation such as tickets and a bouts tabs are more important and need to be at the top. White is also used as text. A large picture of one of the dis is on the side which is the most noticeable thing here.
