interface update

Because the text around the image was too distracting, I decided on a brief history for each drawing in over voice. I am recording them and placing them on the image for people to click on and listen to. I am also attaching a sound recording of a performance by each artist.

Due to limited time, I decided on a webpage already created for poster interface. My original plan was to create the page on flash, but that will take longer, and its time that I don't have right now. The webpage I found is Glogster.com . It looks very attractive and will go well with my illustrations. I am experimenting with it now and figuring out how i'll be creating buttons to navigate through the images.

Progress

After getting together with Dr. McLucas (Former Dean of School of Music) we decided on shifting the focus for this project on Women in Jazz. Because the subject of Women in music is extremely broad, and the genre being so male dominant, focusing on Women in Jazz will be a better option. I currently have 7 women who I will be working on.
Today I will focus on finding recordings from their performances and analyzing their performance style and the energy they put into their instruments. This will allow me to visualize how they were as artists and performers and will help me in starting my digital illustrations.
