I decided to see Johnny Cash’s website and see if it complements his style.  As I first entered the website I immediately saw that the website complemented Johnny Cash’s music as well as his life. The first thing that one would see is the picture of Johnny Cash in the center of the webpage with fire underneath him.  To those who are fans, it obviously is symbolizing his trademark song “Ring of Fire.”  The background colors also complemented his style.  It was black slowly went into a dark red.  It gave the site a kind of old west or cowboy ranch kind of feeling and it represented him as “the man in black.”  Johnny Cash was a cowboy of sorts.  One of the cowboy songs he sang was “Ghost Riders.”  Also near the bottom of the page was a type of crest.  It was a golden eagle surrounded by stars, like from the American Flag.  This represented his patriotic songs he sang like, “The Ballad of Ira Hayes,” which was about one of the soldiers who raised the Flag on Iwo Jima.
     At the bottom of the crest was a Bible with a cross, which also was a part of his latter songs.  He sang a number of songs with religious themes in them. The text on the site was just a regular font that you would see anywhere. They could change it to represent Johnny Cash a little more.  On different parts of the site, window would pop up with a type of Victorian border on the side, like what you would see in an old home or saloon in an old west movie. 
     When you enter the main part of the website it begins to play Johnny Cash songs.  In the store area and the gallery area of the site, the main signs are faded, which matches the western theme.  The gallery also has a wood background, which once again matches the western theme of the site.  In the top left corner of the web page there is a play button that controls the songs that are played on the website.  They designed it to look like an old radio knob from the 60’s and early 70’s.  I found it also adds to Johnny Cash’s music.  A lot of his music about the lower class people and many of those people probably had radios like this. 

     Lastly there was the contact page.  In the center of the page was an old postcard yellowed with age with a stamp in the corner that was dated in 1977.  This date and postcard represent the era when Johnny Cash’s music was at its peak with its exposure and popularity.  Also, the bottom right hand corner of the postcard was on fire, once again signifying “The Ring of Fire.” Hanging on another corner of the postcard was a turquoise necklace, like what you would see at a Native American store for tourists.  Johnny Cash liked to wear those like many cowboys do.   Lastly, in the top right corner of the postcard there is Johnny Cash’s signature.  Overall, the website did a great job representing Johnny Cash and his music.
