            Hello.  So, I came up with a basic sketch of what it would look like.  Let me know what you think.  I was thinking we could do a basic 5 page website.  We can change the template design however you want, just let me know.  I used Myriad Pro font at 12.


           My labor rate is $100 per hour in 1/4 hour increments. Charges are due when item is done unless on account.  $100 rush fee for next-on-bench, $50 rush fee for 3-4 days.  My estimate is that it will take around 20 hours of work to complete.  I will make every effort to complete this project on time.

Zack Benton
I have been making movies ever since I was 12.  Which is the reason i mainly decided to follow that feild, but music has been my passion ever since i was 14.  I have been inspired by Led Zeppelin, i think, the most.  I love writing, playing, and listening to music.  My goal is to be a proffessional musician someday.
My favorite program to work with, for video edditing is Ulead Videostudio 11.  My favorite program to work with in music is Garage Band.
Currently, i am working on writing and recording more songs.  I have also been looking for gigs for my solo work and my band.

1-5

1-5
1.       When I work with garage band, I am reminded that it makes it easier for me to express what’s in my head.
2.       I begin a piece by planning it out.
3.       I know a piece is done when I am happy with it.
4.       When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of happiness.
5.       When people see my work, I’d like them to like it.
