The document summarizes the various websites used during a music project for research, production, and evaluation purposes. Google and Wikipedia were used for general research on music genres, artists, and history. Jamendo provided copyright-free music. YouTube was researched for music video analysis. Windows Live Mail was used to contact an artist. Photoshop tutorials on n-sane.net and tutorial.lombergar.net helped with image production. Da Font was used to find fonts. Blogger and Slideshare hosted project documentation, though Blogger sometimes crashed and Slideshare cut off information.

1. Websites used

2. Research Google In order to find websites and images for our project we used the one of the most used search engines. It gave us a variety of results which ensured that we found exactly what was needed. Wikipedia We used Wikipedia to research different genres of music, record labels and history on current artists.

3. Research part 2 Jamendo We needed copyright free music for our project so we accessed jamendo and looked though the variety of music they had on their database. This is were we found the music we used for our project. Youtube Research music videos from all eras and all genres. Analysing them and bearing in mind if any of their elements could be used in ours. Windows Live Mail I used this to email the artist and ask her what the song was about. By doing this it helped the group understand the lyrics more so we could incorporate it into our video.

4. Production N-sane.net As I was new to using Photoshop I needed tutorials. In order to create the realistic clouds that were going to be featured in the cd cover I searched for tutorials. The perfect and easiest way was shown on n-sane.net Da font While producing the logo the group decided that we wanted to use the artists signature. In order to emphasis the feminine aspect of the artist and music we thought it would be best to use a feminine font and so used dafont to find the perfect one. Tutorials.lombergar.net To achieve bright lighting on the CD covers I decided to look at different brightness settings on Photoshop tutorials. I chose “Indie Film” lighting of this website. It helped to brighten up the pictures making all the colours stand out.

5. Evaluation Blogger This website was used to hold all the research, planning, production work and our evaluations. One disadvantage of this is that it would sometimes crash when pictures, videos and powerpoints were being uploaded. Slideshare This website was used to publish the PowerPoint's that were created on computers and put them onto blogger.com. However, sometime it didn’t upload certain PowerPoint's and cut information off the sides.
