Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this project we were asked to show different examples of media from Creative Commons, doing so ethically.

Image Sample - JPG

These are the official credits to the creator with links.

"German Shepard Dog" by Jakub Halun is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0

I found this image by searching for "dogs" in the Creative Commons website. I chose this image because it reminds me of my dog.

I downloaded this image from Wikimedia and inserted it into my website

"Newtons cradle animation book 2.gif" by DemonDeLuxe (Dominique Toussaint) is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0

Audio Sample - MP3

This is a sample audio file from Jamendo. I selected it because it sounds very relaxing and is something that you can fall asleep or meditate to. It is called Rainwater.

"Rainwater" by SOLXIS is licensed under unknown - FairUse

As I could not find the licensing information for this file, I will share the Title, Author, Source, and License, also known as TASL.

Title: "Rainwater"
Author: SOLXIS
Source: Jamendo Licensing
License: Unknown - FairUse

Video Sample - YouTube

This is an embedded video by TEDx Talks that I got off of YouTube.

The TedTalks licensing information that I found on their About page goes as follows: "We encourage you to share TED talks, under the Creative Commons license, or (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) International"

Is Social Media Hurting Your Mental Health? is a TEDx talk by Bailey Parnell about how social media has such profound impacts on today's society and what we can do to try and reverse the effects.

Lessons Learned

After completing this project I learned a lot about different licensing policies. I knew nothing about how it works, as well as how to embed different types of media such as animations, videos, and audio samples.
