Harpsichord Acoustics
Date created: May 2007
This website was created for a physics project. In the website, I tried to explain what the ideal room in which to listen to a harpsichord would be, using acoustics principles. The site was created in May 2007.
Originally, this website had a different design, but later when I started to add content to that design, I realized that the layout was much too modern and didn't fit at all with what was about to go inside the website. So, I drew up some ideas for new designs, mocked the one I preferred up, and started coding.
This site was developed around the time that Panic's Coda came out, and I was anxious to test it out. So, I downloaded the demo off their site and tested it out. I think in the end, the new design for the site really fit with the baroque feel of the harpsichord, and what I wanted to convey.
