1. ANALYSIS OF DISCO ARTIST
WEBPAGE: MIKA

2. HOMEPAGE
The initial home page features a drop
down box to other linked pages relating
to Mika. The initial imagery is the same
fun cartoonlike aesthetic featured on all
of Mika’s albums, this reoccurring
theme helps the audiences associate the
genre of disco/pop to the artists light
hearted nature. There is also the links
below to the most recent posts related
to the artist, displaying to the audiences
how recently active the artist has been.
The colour scheme remains bright and
contrasting to fit with the disco genre.
Also the main blog is in the centre of the
page with a pale blue background which
feels a little bland but changes
dependent on which link the audiences
takes, bringing a intruging visual
contrast between page links.

3. Six videos on a loop that run on the homepage.
Giving audiences instant access to mika videos
available to stream online.

4. News link- latest mika news, giving audiences
access to latest updates from the artist, making
them feel connected and involved in the artists
success.

5. Biography page, created on the basis that many
new fans will discover the artists work and will
need a blog type update on the artist so far.
Social media links are featured on all the pages
for ease of access for the audience.

6. Albums link from the homepage: again
contrasting colour from the other linked pages.
Reoccurring image/typeface of the artists name
to ensure audiences have a style (in this case
cartoon) to associate the artist with.

7. Photo albums of the artist, giving the audiences
more than just the artists music. This adds
relatability to ’mika’ insinuating to audiences
that the artist is still a person adding to his
relateabiltiy factor.

8. World Map of concerts set for the year. This not only displays how globely
appreciated ‘Mika’ is but involves a worldwide fan base into the artists busy
lifestyle. This is not a common convention of artists websites in general,
however I believe that it gives the website an level of interactivity with the
audience, therefore a global map will come under consideration for my web
page.

9. The store page is the only link on the webpage
that doesn’t fit the general aesthetic of the rest
of the website. However this is not an
uncommon feature of music artist webpages,
thus will be something to consider when

10. The most common convention that the website has is the option to subscribe and become
more connected to the artist via email. However, the Mika website gives the option to sign in
with a variety of other website accounts, connecting all of the audiences social media to the
artist.
