I decided that I should firstly look up the popular and well-known UKF Dubstep website. This re-directed me to the UKF youtube page.
This was the youtube page linked to UKF Dubstep. The striking UKF Dubstep logo is present along with an advertisement for the new Modestep song. The colour scheme for the page is slightly difficult to determine as it is themed around the album art to Modestep's song, however this in my opinion can still be useful as Modestep is a big name within the Dubstep genre and will inevitably use a style and colour scheme which is popular with Dubstep listeners.
Along with the UKF logo looking fairly prominent in the corner in Blue, the background is a gradient of purple, blue, orange and yellow and is effectively used alongside an almost space styled template. the font used for the UKF logo is a bold font whereas the font of "Modestep" has slight hints and similarities to graffiti.I concluded that Bold lettering is most likely going to be included with whatever font I choose for my front cover.
I then proceeded to look for some websites which are associated with Dubstep Music.
I first came across dubstepmusic.biz which is a website promoting unknown Dubstep Artists as well as all the latest news on the pioneers of the Dubstep genre, download links to newly released tracks & a forum allowing users to talk about their favourite tracks.
I wanted to use this website mainly to get a good understanding of just what font I should be looking for both the titles and the text I will be writing. This websites colour scheme appears to be using green with various tones of black and white. This coincides with my prediction that green will be a suitable colour to use as well as dark colours being the base of the websites layout.
The font used is once again Bold lettering however it appears to have a slightly eroded effect to it, almost distorting the text. This shows slight similarities to the font used to advertise Modestep and it can be assumed that this type of font may be what is associated with a Dubstep themed magazine or website.
I then searched for more websites to gain a better understanding of what people generalise a Dubstep style to be. I came across the website dubstep.co.uk. I was surprised to discover that exactly the same font had been used for the title as my previously found website however I found that the colour scheme was quite different. It included warm colours of red, yellows & oranges. This is not what is generally perceived to be the colour scheme of something relating to dubstep however referring back to the colour scheme of the UKF youtube page, it is possible to stray away from this stereotypical dark blue/green/black colour range.
There are circular graphics in the background surrounding the title of the website which I think are most likely trying to resemble sub-woofers, which are affiliated with bass and therefore, Dubstep. Finally, there appears to be paint splats surrounding the title, giving a rigid look along with scratches, enhancing the background from being just a solid colour. This along with the beams coming out behind the text may make me consider using similar graphics behind my front cover or contents titles.
