Website: Codes and Conventions
We can see different codes and conventions of websites easily, below, there is an analysis of the Arctic Monkeys website:
Layout and Design
The website is very clear and easy to use.It is clear, as it portrays the links easily and in a clear matter.It uses a wide grid system, this enables the website to have space, so as to not seem too clustered and to be clear in presentation. The background colour is a complete contrast to font colour and this makes it stand out and clear to see. It does not follow the usual convention of having a band picture in the middle, but instead has one of their music videos.
The technical codes used
Many sites provide moving image or audio players to view/listen to. There is no music player or moving image on this home page, however there is in fact a method of making the page scroll down, along with the top menu following, so wherever you are in the page, the menu bar is always there for easy access.
Genre codes
Web design uses recognisable codes and conventions from the genres to make sure audiences know the genre that is being used and are familiar with it, therefore having level expectation sof it. In relation to this website, it is mainly simple with one video in the middle, with links above it.
