For my senior thesis, I explored the idea of a more complete listening experience within iTunes. Below you can read my documentation process.

Introduction
With the advent of digital music, sales of physical products like CDs have suffered. But the desire of music fans to have a complete experience has only increased. Music fans have abandoned record jackets and liner notes for websites like Last.fm and MySpace to fulfill their music experience. iTunes Artist Link is the newest, most comprehensive, and most convenient way to access artist history, videos, and lyrical content - information that makes the music listening experience richer and more satisfying.

Audience & Goals
I am targeting average music listeners with this application - listeners who want a convenient and customizable listening experience but also strive for a more personal connection to the artists they listen to. My goal is to present a tool that enables listeners to enjoy easy access to music-related multimedia content that can now be found only across a number of different websites and platforms. Artist Link offers an interactive experience, giving users the ability to contribute to as well as learn from the content found within Artist Link.
