Ed Sheeran Website Notice how you have to go through a ‘landing page’ and there is a music + video section, which might be something to copy. Looking at the website – answer these questions in note form your notes to write up the post. 1. What is the main image/ are the main images of the website 2. What are the possible links to other pages? 3. What music company is Ed Sheeran signed to – how do you know ? 4. What evidence is there of social media ? 5. What colours/fonts/layout are used on the home page– are they consistent with other pages? 6. What sort of information is available on the home page ? 7. What would you say is the representation of the artist from the home page? 8. What would you guess is the audience for this website– make a guess but explain the reasons behind your guess. 9. Which aspects of the home page do you think you might use when you create a web page (e. g. a video) – explain why. 10. Now go through the other pages – quickly note down what is on them and take a screen grab/ print screen of some aspect of it.
