History of Popular Music Timeline
I spent the entirety of my final semester as an undergraduate at Fordham University researching and creating this project. As a New Media and Digital Design student I was encouraged to explore how design and technology can coalesce into something purposeful. As someone who is deeply interested in music, I wanted to find a way to incorporate it into my Senior Capstone Project. Thus, the History of Popular Music Timeline was born.
This project is an interactive timeline displaying the history of popular music from 1958 to the present. The internet is full of interesting information about music history, but rarely if ever can one find a conglomeration of this information in one single web page. Using a variety of sources from magazine archives to Billboard charts, this timeline is a synthesis of the past 60 years of music history depicted through photos, videos, major events, album releases, and more, all combined into one interactive infographic.
