For this assignment, I had to explore and collect samples of different media types and credit them properly, through Creative Commons

Here's an animated GIF discovered on DeviantArt. An animated GIF operates by displaying a sequence of still image frames, creating the illusion of movement. This particular animated GIF was downloaded from DeviantArt and is presented here. Despite searching the page, I couldn't locate any specific licensing details or restrictions on how it can be shared. Therefore, I'm providing credit and a link to the original source, following the TASL guideline: Title, Author, Source, and License.

Okay, here's an example for an MP3 audio file, formatted similarly to your previous examples:
This is an example of an MP3 audio file I found on a website offering royalty-free music. An MP3 is a common audio format that uses compression to reduce file size while maintaining reasonable audio quality. This MP3 file was downloaded from the website and is included here. The website stated that the music is offered under a "Royalty-Free" license, which typically means it can be used in various projects without needing to pay royalties for each use. However, attribution might still be required depending on the specific terms. I will credit and link to the source based on the information provided.

This project deepened my knowledge of various digital media formats, including images, animation, audio, and video. I also gained practical skills in embedding and sharing these media effectively. I also got a strong understanding of Creative Commons licenses and the essential practice of proper attribution when utilizing existing digital content. Recognizing and respecting these usage rights has been a key learning outcome.
