For this project I was tasked with finding four different types of digital media to display on my webpage. I decided to make the theme ducks, and I had to explore the web for files to embed into this webpage. I found the audio file through Creative Commons. I had a better sound picked out, but as I was giving this project a final look I found out the website with the original sound was no longer working :( I had to filter my search results on Creative Commons to exclude the website and find a sound that was still suitable for the page theme. The animation (.gif) was found on GIPHY. I embedded a YouTube video as my video file. Last but not least, I took a trip to a park in my hometown that I have been going to since I was a little kid to snap some photos of the ducks.

This project had me exploring all types of digital media files. I had to convert my own photo into a .jpeg in order to embed it into my webpage. I also explored some audio files that came in .wav and .mp3 formats. I found learning about audio files and their format to be the most interesting aspect of this module. It was definitely cool to see how sound waves are digitized and converted into files.
