The Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help display my skills I needed to practice my web development skills on a new project. After attending one of Brutha Eli’s shows I decided to make Brutha Eli a website. After his show we talked for a bit to catch up. Most importantly the idea of needing a website came up.

Soon after I started coding, but during the website’s development we did not communicate much. As a results I was not sure what features to include. To know what type of information might be needed I Googled different famous artist’s websites. With my research I was able to see common elements included in the professional portfolios of different artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons Learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my research I noticed some portfolios had a music player that would keep playing even after redirecting to a different page. To achieve this feature I used JQuery to easily change the body text of the pages content. If a menu item was clicked the current text would by hidden. As a result the appropriate “pages” text would show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any time my embedded SoundCloud playlist was played, any menu item could be clicked. To help clarify the current song playing in the playlist would remain playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those unfinished projects where I left allot of text filled in with Lorem Ipsum text. In the future I now know to communicate more with a client to know what they want and to ensure they will be happy with a finished product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I did not finish this project it definitely was a learning experience. I was able to easily gain a potential client just by staying in contact. In the end my execution was not perfect. But I was able to get out of my comfort zone. As a result I was able to create something for someone I knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
