The three main artist's websites that we consistently drew inspiration from were: Lady Gaga's, Lorde's and Ellie Goulding's.
Key Features:
The artist's picture/image is the first thing you see on the website and is usually the home page background.
All of the websites are very minimalistic and simplistic which works well with the artist's image.
All promote the artist's current album or single on the home page.
