Welcome to Heather's Portfolio
For the digital media project I searched the web to find an image, animation, audio and video that I was able to use ethically by provided each file with its credit. I utilized creative commons and other resources to ethically source my choices.
I found my image sample by using Creative commons and downloading from Flicker. I searched the topic "kittens". and I downloaded the medium file size from flicker.

For my audio sample I went to Freesound.org and searched "rain sounds". Rain has always been a calming noise to me. I stumbled upon this audio listed to the left which is an audio recording of a rain stick. I loved these as a kid and it brought back some vivid memories for me. I downloaded this audio to my computer as a MP3 sample.

During this lesson I learned how to properly credit creators for their work based on its copy right license. Honestly before this lesson I didn't realize how many different types of copy right licenses there are. Today I learned how to safely use other creators work while given them the proper credit.
