Journal #4 Final Curriculum Project Plan

Site Title: "Then & Now: Music Sampling"

Developer: Nicole Everett

Rational/Focus: The goal of my site is to serve as an addition to my "published" iBook of the same title, and to showcase the increase in music sampling and hot it crosses genres in music everyday.  While also pinpointing that this is not a "new" phenomenon in musical history--it's been happening for generations.

Main Features Outline:
  • typical navigation
  • external links to other websites
  • multimedia elements, i.e. sound and video clips, mp3s
  • photo thumbnail images, and some in CSS styling
  • comparison charts/tables
Content: 7 HTML webpages
  1. home page- navigate the webpage options and functionality throughout site
  2. basic info- explaining what is music sampling and other various definitions involved
  3. history- explaining where the method originated and how it progressed through generations in popular music genres and the people associated with the business of sampling
  4. examples- the page that will be most interactive, provided there will be sound clips to play and examine for comparison
  5. resources- other web site links that draw similarities and more foundation to this method in music creation, and a link to how to download the iBook version
Target Audience: Everyone and anyone interested in learning the facts about alternative music history.  Music professionals, music teachers/students.

Design Consideration: I would want for the site to be informative but also fun.  Not for it to be just a site full of mundane factual information.  I want there to be interactive elements.

Limiting Factors: If there isn't an interested audience, the site is unnecessary.  It needs to be compelling. And technically, I need to be able to understand how to appropriately apply multimedia elements within the HTML write up and CSS styling, otherwise the site won't be functional.
