I wish this website could be made live, but it was so large I couldn't open a single video.Â
It's a lot simpler than what I started off with at the beginning of the project, for time's sake. As it loads, JB tells you to "HIT MEH!" and when you do, 12 albums from Project 2's data pop out behind him. The 12 chosen are a chronological representation of the artists that sampled Brown's music between 80s–2013. I took ~400 songs and put the genres in percentages and made it representative of the 12 (so there's about 5 hip hop songs, 2 electronic, 2 rnb, 1 jazz, 1 funk, and 1 rock). It's situated around the JB illustration in a clock-like layout to suggest how his music has shaped genres of music throughout time. The songs were selected as personal favourites from the top 400.
I avoided putting extra words and explanations because it was intended to be an exploration of sound and visuals for the user to naturally experience how Brown's legacy has shaped music today, long after his death.
Scanned images to follow as soon as I get to a scanner.
