Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this project, I had to find 4 different media types and share them on my ePortfolio. For each selection, I had to describe how I found it and include any licensing information/sharing limitations.

Digital Media Types

How I found it:

Using the Creative Common website, I searched for "curls" .

I downloaded the small version from Nappy and then uploaded it to my website.

Animation (gif)

How I found it:

I searched "dancing gif" on the Imgur website.

Using the embed option, I was able to copy the HTML code to post on my site.

Licensing Information:

I could not find any licensing information.

According to the Copyright and Trademark page on Imgur:

All content is user submitted, and Imgur does not own the copyright for images uploaded to our site, thus cannot grant permission for their use.

When you use the embed, the post remains hosted on Imgur and is covered under our copyright policies and processes (which state that the image owner controls the full copyright and permissions to the uploaded image). This means the original uploader keeps all of the control.

Lessons Learned

I learned so many new things while completing this project. First, I learned about the different types of copyrights. While completing this project, I began to notice that copyright information is not always easy to find. Many of the site that host content suggest to reach out to the creator for copyright details. One would think this information would be more easily assessible.
