Project 3- Phase 1

I've looked around the internet for music download sites (mainly asian) and the majority of them are blogs. They all have navigation on the side, usually the alphabet and a search bar. Each post has a picture of the album art, track listing, date it was released, and of course a download link, with one or two mirrors. Since I'm not trying to do a blog I think I might do something just a little different. LIke have two main content things on the index. On for news, and the other for like most recent releases. I will keep the navigation and the search the same.

The header usually has a really nice banner featuring a popular artist (or artists) and the name of the blog or site. There is also a lot of time like an asian theme, be it color or like the way the graphics are. I want to use an asian them, but it be like red and white for the most part. I'm not too sure about that.

There is usually partner banners on the side for sister/ partner sites advertisements, along with the disclaimer to avoid legal troubles. Some sites have a link to actually BUY the music, but I don't think I'll have that.

I've also notice a lot of these kinds of site have news on various artists personal lives. Things like what movie they are in, family stuff, or what anime their song is used in. There are also usually links to PV music videos when they are released.

I want to incorporate all of these things but try to keep it minimalist and pretty clean and simple.
