This project proposes an interactive multimedia CD service for unsigned artists. The CD would include 3 music tracks, biography, photos, and videos of the artist. It would be playable as an audio CD or viewed digitally. The project would use Director MX 2004 for multimedia development. Milestones include meetings with artists, music production, multimedia storyboarding, and CD mastering. Marketing would target independent artists through online and magazine advertising. The service aims to provide artists an affordable alternative to traditional press kits.
