Brief Statement
The idea behind Small Time Curation was to incorporate audio into a webpage in a subtly interactive way. I am very passionate about music as a whole, so I felt doing a theme based on curation of songs would be an easy and fun transition. The reason behind the reveal bands button came about after realizing Google has implemented measures that prevents any audio based media from playing automatically if the user hasn't interacted with the webpage yet. The click of the button is just enough interaction to allow the hover over images to play audio feature, while also creating a little bit of suspense over what bands could be featured. I utilized jquery over javascript in this project because of numerous issues popping up when trying to get audio to play correctly or at all. I drew inspiration and audio playback guidance from mstrickland's LOONAVERSE project (http://dtc-wsuv.org/mstrickland17/finalproject/), as well as, w3schools many tutorials.
