This project is about the proper use of digital media. Part of using media is citing it correctly so that is part of this project as well.

I used my camera and took pictures of my car, bike, and skateboard on different days. The images now have a Creative Commons license CC BY that allows people to share and adapt the image while giving original credit to me.

I found this animation by searching for an animated GIF on Google Images. I then looked through the results and found the image I wanted. It is sourced from a website that teaches people how to make animated GIFs like this example. There was no license information that I could find, so I credited the author of the article this image came from.

I actually found this video on my "For You" page since my page is full of cars and repair videos. It uses the Standard YouTube license which is the default setting for all videos uploaded to the platform. It gives YouTube broadcasting rights while prohibiting viewers from downloading, editing, or re-uploading the content without written permission (Terms Feed)

I learned that there are proper ways to use, cite, and license pictures, video, audio files and videos online. In the past I would just find images I wanted to use in a presentation or project and add it to the document. Now I know I need to cite it correctly just like I have to cite text I use in papers I write.
