This is the whole of the Home page for The Killers' website. It takes on a modern look with the sections at the bottom in neat boxes and columns. This layout reminds me of the new Windows 8 layout. The modern look would be appealing to the young target audience the band is aimed at. The aesthetic uses the colours blue and black which together create quite a digital look in my opinion. Black connotes death which could link to the artist name whilst blue is a decidedly masculine colour, also linking with the artist. At the bottom we simply have 3 sections; news, videos, and Twitter. The font is basic, as per usual with these websites. This could be so that it is easy and relaxing to read. Most of the page (a whole computer screen's worth) is taken up with the promotional pictures. There are arrows at the side to navigate the 4 headline pictures.
The nav bar is at the top of the page, it uses personalized idioms (if you can call them that)
of the band such as 'THE VICTIMS' and 'SWEET TALK'. To you and me that's 'subscribers' and 'forum'. The use of these show how popular the artist is and is unique to fans of The Killers. This personalization would be appealing to fans. I haven't decided on the name for my band yet but I think it would be good to use something allowing me to make a unique name for fans of the artist. The logo for the artist is displayed here. This connotes the artist's indie-rock genre as it denotes stage lighting from gigs.
