Description
This site offers a database of music information for cities throughout the USA. Users can locate record stores, clubs and radio stations by selecting a city. This page shows a 3-D model of the United States texture mapped by a photo of a sirloin steak. This concept takes the humorous idea that there is similarity between the shape of the United States and a steak. And incorporates it into interface design. The humorous elements of the where’s the beat page, serve to entertain the user as he/she browses through an otherwise boring database. With the use of cool interface design, the sometimes arduous task of information gathering can be less boring and maybe even fun for the user.
