    Web sites

    A promotional site for an album immerses visitors in a beautiful, dreamy world of imagery and futuristic music-making layered with interactive features.

    Navigating through the Song Experience on the site for Janet Jackson’s All For You album, visitors get the opportunity to remix Janet’s hit single on a soundboard interface, while the Remix Radio showcases eleven rare songs for fans to savor. Fans can also vote for their favorite albums, songs, and videos in Polls, send postcards, download wallpaper, get up-to-date news and tour information, and post messages in the Fan Forum. The design reflects the upbeat, melodic, and sexy dance grooves of Janet Jackson’s album. The Song Experience section utilizes virtual bed sheets that users can unfold, pan across, and move through to navigate from song to song. Lyrics become an undulating curve based on mouse activity and translucent scrim layers open to reveal images of Janet and special features. The Soundboard puts users at the mixing board with bass, drum, and vocal samples to make their own DJ club mix of “All For You.” More information-oriented sections of the site, such as Bio, News, Interview, Tour, and Fan Forum are built to be easily accessible by fans.
