Celebrities’ Websites 1

To become a celebrity a lot of advertising in all possible media is essential. Nowadays it’s impossible to be a star and at the same time to not have an official website. I’ll try to present here a list of 20 interesting websites belonging to music celebrities and to comment if these fit their style, what combinations of color and techniques they use and how they differ. Hope you enjoy it!

1. Armin van Buuren

Armin presents himself with a simple design and some interesting background effects. The combination of black and white with some tones of blue is what Armin probably likes, in many spectacles he wears a white or a black shirt. Another interesting point is the complete menu that can direct to everything relating to Armin (from bio to shop).

2. Avril Lavigne

The black and violet background gives me a feeling of mystery which I believe is appropriate to her style. The header is very impressive, being in fact a picture of Avril. In the “News” section I found out that the singer will release a new website which will have more photos, videos and news. Hope to see it sooner!




3. Beyonce

Distinctive for this website are the multilingual versions, and the fact that it has content adapted to a lot of languages which is of course a positive aspect. The background is gray and overall this website looks well.




4. Britney Spears

I like this websites (to be honest I really like the music of Britney Spears) but the blue background instantly reminds me of Twitter. The color combination is blue and pink which works well. What I like the most here is the “BS Alert” link; the great majority only has links to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.




5. Christina Aguilera

A super cool website. The background presents a futuristic look, probably as an avant-garde for the new album which will be released on 8 June. Another positive fact is that Christina has a radio and promotes it as a section of a website menu. Regarding the new album the promos are convincing so it will probably be a masterpiece.




6. Jay Z

Jay Z has a very simple website, maybe too ordinary for such a well-known star. The menu is almost inexistent, I have nothing to remark, I almost don’t like it.




7. Jordin Sparks

I really like this website; it has all what is needed to keep in touch with fans. It is well worth your while to go to sparkstown where you can find out more interesting stuff about Jordin and meet her most fervent fans and join their community if you share their views.

8. Katy Perry

This is the most relevant website to the singer’s style. The background is a multicolor wall and everything seems to be a dedication to life and joy. The key of this website is the color combination of red and blue. The menu is very rich, information about what I want to find out is complete, so I see no negative aspect here. Nicely done Katy! (or Katy’s designer)


9. Kelly Clarkson

Kelly has a very nice website characterized by a good color combination and a typical menu. There is nothing to make you say “wow”, but overall gave me a good impression (or maybe the calendar with upcoming tour dates located in a central position gives a nice touch).


10. Kelly Rowland

The website is based on a very calm color combination of brown and white, without contrasting (using color contrasts is specific to artists who use it to easier emphasize their message). The header is half a browser page and consists of a beautiful picture of Kelly (this picture will be the cover of a new release of hers, featuring David Guetta).
