For this project, I was required to embed four examples of each media type image, animation, audio, and video. As well as to include any licensing information for each media types.
I chose the selected image by searching for "flower drawings" on the Creative Commons website.
I downloaded the medium size version (800 x 587) from Flickr, and then embedded the code of this image onto my website.

I chose this selected audio sample file called soothing remix of Freesound. I selected this file because it can be used for a calming background noise, I really liked the soothing feel it gave me when I listened to it.

I chose this example of an animated gif that I have found on DeviantArt.

I chose this example from Vimeo of an embedded video.
This video is about learning to create a balance from putting large amounts of effort towards your goals, but also giving your body the rest it needs to not develop burnout.
I embedded this video from Vimeo, which provided a copy of the link and an embedded code, but the video did not provide usage policy or licensing information.
According to the about page of Vimeo, under Vimeo Acceptable Use Community Guidelines:
You may only upload content that you have the right to upload and share. Copyright owners may send Vimeo a takedown notice as stated in our Copyright Policy if they believe Vimeo is hosting infringing materials. We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of persons who repeatedly infringe.
In contrast, Vimeo takes a less strict stance on allowing users to upload video content without immediate disabling of copyrighted elements.
Vimeo requires individuals to follow:
DMCA Policy - Vimeo respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. Each user must ensure that the materials they upload do not infringe any third-party copyright. Vimeo will promptly remove materials in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) when properly notified that the materials infringe a third party's copyright. Vimeo will also, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers.
After completing this project, i've learned how to embed four different media types onto a website. I've also learned how important it is to learn about any licensing information or sharing limitations when sharing someone else's work.
