With this website for Six Revisons' band website the framework that is used meets the codes and covnentions of the layout and design that I had previously posted. This is because the website has the layout that would have been created by using a grid format with the tool bar at the top of the page and with the area in the centre of the page to allow the audience to interact with the website itself. Every aspect of this website is split by this grid alothough there is no visible seperations. This makesd the website seem informal and is aimed at more of the younger audience rather than the stuctured rigid formaty that you may see if you were to visit the BBC NEWS website. In this website the includes factual information about the tour dates and recent news on what is happening with the band at present time. Although this text is not formatted like what you may see in a Broadsheet it still is factual as it is not gossip that you would find in a Tabloid. Although these conventions are met one I cant see is the genre. At a first look there is not much that tells the audience that this website is for a band other than the name and that their is tour dates on the website. This is because there is no real images focusing on the band other than an image with one of the artists next to an article in the centre area of the homepage. When comparing this to other band pages this does challenge the codes and conventions of the website layout but it does not increase its poulairty as it has changed the way it shows the genre as it makes it more difficult for the audience to see what the genre is and then what to expect from it.
