Stentorian 'Enter' page.
This 'entry-page' was created using 'Serif PageplusX4'. The general structure of this 'entry' page was built on the foundation of the previous explored entry pages listed above. The key aspects of these entry pages are, simplicity, boldness and large images. The font on this page is from 'urbanfonts.com' and is larger than the other text on the page which works really well because it makes the name of the band stand out, making the band the medium of the page. The information on the page - the release date of the box set. Adds some professionalism and makes it look more popular.
The 'Pre-order' button was also created using 'urbanfonts.com' and although the typical button graphic isnt used on the website that this immitates, we felt it was a good addition.

The hyperlinks on this entry page include the 'Proceed to the stentorian website' (at the top of the page), the pre-order button and the image itself. The image takes you to the main homepage as well as the obvious entry line at the top of the page. While the button takes you to the band merchendise page.
Stentorian 'homepage'.
This is the 'homepage' and was created using 'Serif Drawplus' and was created as an attempt to follow the guidelines of other official websites - this one looks alot at the 'Led Zepplin' website that we analyised in our questionairre as the favourite.
There are two types of font used on this webpage. The first font is a sharp and slightly distorted which represents the band and its genre. The name of the Band 'Stentorian' is in this font aswell as the name of their new album and so the album font itself will help people recognise and assosiate the connection between the two fonts.
There is a small midi-player at the bottom right hand corner of the page. This was created by using auto-shapes and the fill-effects feature. To create the background image to the midi-player, we created an image and then dropped the shapes ontop of it to make the midi-player look complete.

The menu in the top right was created by drawing several lines in paint, and then putting them together to create a table. Once again we used a font from 'urbandfonts.com' to make it look more modern. This is the second font we used and it just helps distinguish the hyperlinks from the normal next.
Beneath the image are three smaller images which were created in paint to represent sponsors. We thought that including sponsors would make the whole page look more official, and since the page we used as a guide had them, we thought it would be a safe option to also include them.
