I sort of agree with what others had said, though I would call it a multimedia biography- a web based biography, complete with integrated links (within the text of the biography) to pictures, interview clips, song clips and video. I am a media specialist (AKA school librarian), and I help students with research every day- I think the idea of a multimedia based bio would be very, very cool and original enough to make your instructors take notice. Just make sure there is plenty of substance to go with flashy technology. Just my opinion....
