Digital Media Exploration

Crediting and uploading png's, animations, gifs, audio, and videos!!! You'd think you know how to do all of it, but you never know until you try. In this assighment I practice doing all of these things!

Animation-Gif

This simple square requires a lot of copying and pasting to make! First, I put all the scares in on page in descending order, so that I could make sure they were descending evenly. and thn i took each one and copy pasted it onto a new page in order. This was easy because when you copy and paste in Brush Ninja, it not only copies the item but also its placement on the page.

To have the square come back towards the veiwer i just mirrored the order of the square on the rest of the pages.

This image is a photo my friend took of one of the comic panels in her sketch book! It was very yellow and muddy originally, but with a little editing, I brightened and whitened it up, thus making the sketch line crisper and more legible.

To pay homage to the comic origins of the art, I put some borders around the panels to emphasize the comic look. And of course, added a nice spot for her Instagram profile where she posts a lot more art! Go check it out!!!

Video-YouTube

Embedding this video wasn't difficult at all, given that Google Sites directly uploads videos from YouTube! I really like watching art get cleaned, and I like to learn about art history, so I embedded a video from one of my favorite YouTubers who does just that!!!

Audio-MP3

This audio was created on GarageBand on my MacBook! I had never used the application before, but I thought since this assighment needed an audio, why not make my own!!!

I did have to play around with GarageBand for two hours before I figured out how to actually start making "music" on it. I eventually got there tho. Downloading this took another 30 minutes of playing around. eventually, I discovered there is a share button at the top of my Mac.

To get the MP3 on google sites thouh i had to turn the sharing accessibility to "anyone with a link," and then I had to copy that link and embed it. A little bit of a tedious process, but I did it!

Image-JPG-Creative Commons

The image was found on Google in the Creative Commons section. At first, I was not sure how to go about finding Creative Commons content, but with a little help from my teacher, I learned that there is, in fact, a tool button which will provide you with the option to Creative Commons content only.

Lessons Learned

The first thing I learned is that I still have a lot to learn about my computer!!! I didn't know the aplication garage band could be so fun, and I didn't know how to access or download files from GarageBand to my computer, but I did figure it out! The second thing I learned is that this is actually a lot of fun. I was intimidated at first for this particular section, but after a couple of days of playing with all the tools and buttons, I started to gain confidence and just flow a lot smoother!
