For this project I intend on making a music website which will be used to inspire users and also doubles as a microblogging site in which I can engage with my audience.  I plan on adding a few interactive features, mostly including embedded videos from YouTube but also having a comment section in which people can come into contact with me by adding in their name and then have a comment section to ask any questions of give any feedback. Moreover, the videos serve the purpose of educating and also inspiring users, and possibly some entertainment can come from listening to music and watching videos. For my images most of the ones in my website will actually be illustrations made my myself in Photoshop or perhaps some will be photos of myself edited. However I will also be sourcing some images or videos from Pexels as those are royalty free, also there is younger photos of myself from the internet however as they are of me I believe I should be okay to use them. The reason I have chose...

In this report I shall highlight any potential legal or ethical issues that I may face through the creation of this website and discuss the procedures i have undergone to remove as many of these issues as possible to ensure my website is appropriate and safe for my target audience to consume. My website is a Microblogging site in which I share my story of how I became a musician and also will give insight as to how to find inspiration for music, the target audience of my website being musicians aged 14-16. Copyright -  This is in reference to someone using someone else's product as a means to make profit, it was orchestrated in 1988 in the UK to stop people from making money from other people's work by claiming it as their own. In my case I have embedded music from YouTube, I shouldn't have any issues due to the links being embedded form the copyright holders channel so they will receive all profits and add revenue from me using it, this was my intention due to the whole re...

Here I started with an image 1.3MB in size, although this doesn't seem too big in size, for a website this is huge, so I set out on making it lower than 300KB, to start I changed the file type to a JPG to start which seemed lowest, then lowered the scale and quality to a point where it was small enough whilst retaining quality, from this I had a smaller image but it improved my performance speed, this process is also known as lossless compression as the file size is smaller without losing quality.  I have optimized this image by condensing the file size down, this is in order to ensure sites open and run at the optimum speeds so that customers get the best quality speeds and experience, for this I made sure all images were under 300kb in size, to assure this I found that with any form of gradients with my art, a JPG is the smallest file, and if it isn't small enough then I made the image smaller and lower in quality, this had to be done to a certain degree though as it is easy ...
