Digital Media

Project Description: I searched for different forms of media available through Creative Commons and practiced how to give proper credit to creators

This photograph was created on Sydney and edited the lighting with , used some undertones, but over all I wanted the picture to stay as natural and simple as the original one.

Audio Sample - MP3

Below is an example of an audio file named cat-purr. I chose this one, because recently I lost one of my cats recently and hearing this instantly reminded me of him.

First I downloaded as a .wav then convert it to mp3 to be able to share it to my Google Drive.

Animation Sample - Animated GIF

This is an example of an animated GIF that I discovered on DeviantArt. An animated GIF is a type of image file that displays a series of frames in sequence to create the appearance of movement. I downloaded this GIF from DeviantArt and uploaded it to my website for this project.

Video Sample - YouTube

This is an example of an embedded video from YouTube. I chose this performance by Olivia Dean because I enjoy her music and wanted to demonstrate how videos can be incorporated into a website. I used YouTube's embed feature to add the video and provided a citation to acknowledge the original creator.

What I learned?

I learned a lot from exporting and downloading media to my computer, I keep enjoying this portfolio creation and playing with all the buttons that each media type provides for us students to understand.
