Analysis of NLX website

Why: I have analysed the album covers in order to see what running style she has.

This is the homepage to NLX’s website, as you can see it has a very artistic feel to it.
The left hand menu bar is on notepaper, maybe from a library card or something similar as it reads ‘author, title, date due and borrower’s name.’ So we already know that it is an unusual almost comedic thing. There also appears to be ink splatters and fading/ageing to the background too, showing that it has a very urban/retro feel to it. The use also of carefully illustrated deigns on the page give it a strong contrast to the rest of the design, it may indicate an almost periodic motion to the design. It could also read the ‘rough’ ‘planning’ stages of writing music, indicated by the use of bulleted paper and ink splatters.


In this photo we can see that it is very creative, there are various quotes on the page some of which read ‘’be mentally and emotionally fit, be wise and confident in what it is you want and need.’’ However we get an essence of her personality throughout the use of imagery and quotations on this page. Another quotation reads “Not a weight loss program” linking to the fact that this is the photographs page and maybe showing that her personality is that of which is proud for people who are what they are. The photo that shows 2 pictures of a girl having to have her spine corrected adds more influence to the quote ‘’Not a weight loss program’’ Hence giving Natasha a very broad, strong personality. She also has a strong individualistic sense shown through the quote at the top ‘Behind every great man there stands great woman.’’ This type of design would be unusual to see on perhaps other mainstream artists pages.

This is the links page of the website, which I think is a very good explanation of things she is concerned about which you can see from the ‘Causes’ heading, also people is close to etc. From this we can gather information about her that is somewhat useful as it gives us insight to what she is inspired by etc.
How this will help with my studies: This will help with my studies because it again helps me when i come to making the album cover and poster, this way i can still show her unique sense of style.
