October-December 2011

Objective:

NOW SOUND is a blog where I post play lists I have put

together

accompanied by music videos that I filmed and edited.

The play lists are specific to instances or moods that I feel

should have a soundtrack. When the viewer plays a video,

it gives them a preview of 30-90 seconds of each song with

interesting visuals to enhance the feeling that the songs

creates. Overlapping text tells the song name and artist

along with some interesting information about the album

creation or release. The site is geared towards music lovers,

film makers, and other designers.
