Funhouse is the fourth single (fifth in Australia) released from Pink’s fifth album of the same name. The CD cover is similar to the album cover and website promoting the album. Pink is seen riding a carousel style horse with a wild expression on her face. Pink is also seen riding a horse like this on her album cover, linking the two together. The colourful background and loud font all evoke a sense of an old-fashioned carnival or funhouse, hence the song and album name. They also clearly convey Pink’s personality.

Pink is also seen wearing a bright pink dress, which draws people in with its vivid colour, which contrasts with the background also. The central image has been created by using one image and then mirroring it, and this makes the dress look like a love heart in the centre of the cover. Pink and the horse are riding out of the heart, possibly referencing that Pink has ‘fallen out of love’ with the funhouse.

PinksPage.com is a colourful experience, with the main banner immediately reflecting Pink’s personality and character perfectly. The site is quite basic in its layout; with the main banner featuring an image of Pink which is very similar to that of her Funhouse Album cover and the single’s CD cover of the same name. To the right of this, there is a slideshow which provides a link to ITunes to buy Pink’s latest music, and the next part of the slideshow plays a preview of her latest video.

The website is certainly in link with her album cover, and the font is also the same, making a consistent house style that is visually spectacular to the eye. The site has a wide variety of pages as well, along with some excellent software in which you can change and remix Pink’s songs. This feature plus the variety of content elsewhere on the website can easily keep fans interested and entertained for hours.

The main subheading on the page is News, which is at the top of the left column, with ‘Tweets’ being at the top of the right column. This is obviously a feed from Twitter.com, and provides some technological convergence, which makes the page more interesting. As we scroll down the page, we can see a variety of features, including a fans area, photos section, the remix ‘widget’ mentioned earlier, MP3 store and video player. As well as these, there is also an events page, page for information of how to download tracks to your mobile phone, official Pink store, forum and a biography plus more. The website is certainly rich with diverse content, and is certainly something I hope I can replicate in terms of the amount of content.
