PRESENTATION!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[jayseeg]

Hey @lbecerra99, @Delta-Duhr, & @exsidea. Please chime in in the comments if you read this tonight.

Here's the basic structure of your presentation, but this is just my idea,.... you should definitely put your own spin on it, or even throw it out & do your own thing! I'm just going to write down a loose outline, please think about & practice what you'll say & do (shoot for a minute per section, but it's ok if you come up short).

The basic story is:

Tom's site is lacking some key info. There is a lot of money to be made by such a talented musician. The people with the money aren't able to learn enough about Tom to give him the money. Our website & backend can make it easy for Tom to update his site. When his site is up to date, the money rains down.

Presso

• Intro to the problem—@lbecerra99
  • fans and commercial interests are looking for information about Tom & his music
  • front page was empty
  • no bio or about page
  • no real way to tell who Tom was or what his commercial work was without watching 16 videos
• Intro to the opportunities—@Delta-Duhr
  • Tom is looking to have money rain down on him
  • video producers can keep Tom busy scoring ads
  • fans can buy albums and attend shows or performances
• The conflict—@lbecerra99
  • fans who are looking to learn more about Tom & his music want more than his old site is giving them
  • producers looking for talent for their projects need more information about him than they can get from watching his videos
• The realization—@Delta-Duhr
  • Tom's site needs to make it easy for him to update content on his own
  • give an example of uploading new content on the fly
  • talk about how the backend takes in input & publishes it to the site
• The transformation—@exsidea
  • fans and producers can learn about Tom & what he's up to now because he can keep his site up to date with ease
  • money will rain down

I like it, @Delta-Duhr & @exsidea, what do you think?

[Delta-Duhr]

Could you put everything into a notepad.pw so that I can pull up all of this information before the presentation? (Without loginig into here) And I think that this is good, but that we should feel free to jump in if other people need some time to get what they are trying to think of or if we have anything that needs to be said. Just try to make it feel natural and flow between these points. If we dont hit every point we will be fine, and if we end up hitting on some other things because thats in the natural flow of what we are saying, that's good too.

@Delta-Duhr—good call on keeping it loose & not trying to hit a lot of bullet points.

Please do take care to make sure everyone speaks for part of the presentation.

I'm not sure about the notepad.pw,... but please feel free to put it in whatever format makes it easiest for you to use.

[Delta-Duhr]

Yell at me about this when the server comes off of FREEZE, I will organize everything then.

[jayseeg]

lol,... no yelling happening on my end :D

[jayseeg]

@lbecerra99, @Delta-Duhr, & @exsidea—I'm stepping away for about an hour, then I'll be plugging in @lbecerra99's CSS changes. Then after the freeze is over, I'll work on getting the bread in the php that's missing it.

If you have anything else, feel free to tag me in a new or existing issue.

[Delta-Duhr]

If anyone asks about some flaw in our website that isnt something that is objectively wrong (eg. you spelled XYZ wrong), such as 'why did you not include any other pictures of tom, or any picutres in the content.php page?', try to spin it to be a positive thing, eg. 'Because we feel that pictures of tom should be used in the bio, to identify himself, but since they are not representative of what he can do as a musician, they should be left out of the media page'. If you are not sure about how to respond to a question designed to pick at the flaws in our website, just differ (coo coo) to me, and I can most likely respond. Be prepared to answer questions about design elements, color schemes, and other things, with answers that relate to tom and that are not just "we did this to make it work" or "we did this because it looked pretty". Instead go for "we chose this design element because we thought it would be best for tom because of X, Y, and Z" or "we chose this color scheme because we thought it well represented tom as an induvidual and a musician because of X, Y or Z" (As you can tell I am tired, so please forgive any spelling mistakes or harshness in my words, just take them at face value, I am thinking of things that may help. Im sorry if I come off as rude but it is just me typing fast and not having time to edit for tone.)
