R&B/Pop star Rihanna's official website has an intuitive home page that is constantly updated with various accolades the singer has collected and advertisements for a large number of fashion and beauty products that she is associated with. As shown in the image above, the images saturate int colour when hovered over by the user, encouraging interactivity. The sidebar also has a large number of different sections relating to expected sections like Music, Videos and a Bio, but also links to her brands of beauty and fashion products, and to a section that links to a charity she created, the Clara Lionel foundation, which helps poverty-stricken countries to educate children. I'm very impressed by the quantity of material on this website, and a user can browse it for a substantial amount of time without getting bored.
Daft Punk's website
Daft Punk's website is much more minimalist in comparison to Rihanna's, with only a few links and sections, but it makes up for this through it's stylish and cohesive design. The first thing that a user who opens the page will notice is the portrait of Daft Punk, which is also the album art for Random Access Memories, meaning that this artwork doubles as a promotion for the artists and the music. The links are primarily to the the latest Daft Punk music video, which is left in the centre of the homepage once the portrait leaves the screen, and beyond that the main feature is the video series on the artists Daft Punk have collaborated with. There are also links to social media, and to the record label 'Columbia', who Daft Punk are signed to. The main way this website has inspired me is through it's stylish design, and by proving that a website can be successful without having a huge amount of features as long as the existing ones are interesting.
