Blink 182: Old and New

So I thought I'd do a post demonstrating how many aspects of Blink 182's previous work has come through into our website.

Above is the bands official website compared with our own page. The basic layout is the same, with news on the right and adverts, videos, etc on the left hand side. We have been more creative with our menu thought, incorporating our menu into Blink 182's smiley logo instead of just running it along the top of the page. The tabs running across the top of the news is taken from Blink's website, as is the idea of selling the bands products. We added some cheeky intertextuality by including our CD cover on the page, and took that one stop further by throwing in images of the bands discography, for nostalgia if nothing else. As a final bit of inspiration from Blink's site, we took the fact they use the album cover as part of their design, and include that as side banners on our webpage.
