I reviewed an interactive website called The Pudding<\/a><\/em>. It is a digital publication that combines analytical text, dynamic data charts, audio, and video into a unified space. A multimedia website breaks away from the limits of traditional and linear academic papers. Projects in The Pudding<\/em> are inspiring. They show that a website format can make research both academically rigorous and engaging. Growing Up With K-pop<\/a><\/em> (Kim et al., 2026) is the most relevant reference product for my project. Not only does its topic closely relate to my research, but it also shows how text, charts, music, and other multimedia elements can be thoughtfully integrated into a webpage to tell a story. I like this project\u2019s modern, neon color style and how it uses lines to connect different parts of the page. These lines guide viewers through the content and encourage them to continue reading. Meanwhile, as users scroll down, the icon in the upper-right corner also changes. These little design details make the project feel polished. I can use similar visual guidance elements in my project to encourage viewers to follow my narrative and to present the content in a clear, logical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a similar project, my main practical focus this semester will be learning website setup and web design. However, learning the technical steps is not enough. I also need to master the underlying logic of digital structuring. I need to figure out how to turn academic research into clear website sections. For example, I need to figure out a clear and interactive way to present the origins and development of the Korean folk song Arirang<\/em>. I also need to choose the best way to display audiovisual examples, such as the traditional cultural elements in BTS’s album ARIRANG<\/em>. Overall, the web design must support a clear narrative and prevent the audience from feeling overwhelmed by too much information. This is what I hope to achieve in my project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
