Digital Media Exploration
Project Description: In this project I must find and collect data found on the internet and credit the creator/creators of the media.
Image/Graphic: JPG
I found this flower image by searching "flowers tock image" on google and going to a website called "Pixnio" then I downloaded it as a jpg file. This image is under the CC license which means that creators give others permission to use and share their copyrighted material with the limitation of giving credit to the creator and for some only allowing use for certain purposes.

Animation: gif
I found this image of a drink by searching "animation gif cc0" and came across a website called "GIPHY" this was downloaded as a gif file. This image is under the CC0 licenses which means that creators waive their copyright laws in their works which makes them public domain. For CC0 licenses there are no restrictions that I have been able to find meaning that the images are free for whatever use. This gif is by Sauts // Alex Sautter under a cc0 license.
Audio: This next one I found on a website called "pixabay" by searching for audio under CC0 licenses. I wasn't able to embed the audio in this sections despite every method i've tried so I will put a link instead, Car passing by | Royalty-free Music - Pixabay this is the audio of a car passing by, under the CC0 licenses which means that creators waive their copyright laws in their works which makes them public domain. For CC0 licenses there are no restrictions that I have been able to find meaning that the images are free for whatever use. This audio is by colorsCrimsonTears.
Video: This video I found on YouTube by searching "CCBC" I used this video because I thought it was fitting for this assignment. This video is a tour of the facilities for new students such as the gym and fields showing them around the campus without having to be present physically. There was no license posted for the video. This video is from the CCBC Catonsville cardinals page.
Lessons Learned- During this project I learned the importance of copyright and usage laws for different types of media. How these laws protect it's creators and how to identify the different usage laws and what they mean for both the user and creators.
