For this project, I collected different forms of digital media from a variety of sources. I put my new knowledge on giving credit to creators into action when it was necessary.
I found this image by searching "Flowers" on the Creative Commons website.
I downloaded the JPG file to my laptop and then uploaded it to my website.
This image is by Vincent Van Gogh from the J. Paul Getty Museum, and is dedicated to the public under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0).
This means any user can download, edit, or repurpose Getty Museum photos without legal restrictions, like Brigitte Vézina did.
Below is the official credit to the creator:
"Irises" by Vincent Van Gogh is under Creative Commons Zero (CC0)
I found this example of a GIF on Colossal.
This GIF was saved from Colossal, downloaded to my computer, and then uploaded to my website.
This GIF is specifically called a rainbow-hued GIF that is up against a black background. With it being a plain black background, it gives a cooler effect, in my opinion.
I couldn't find any license for this, so here is what I do know:
Name of GIF: Perplexed
Creator: Marcus Martinez
Publisher: Kate Sierzputowski

This is a YouTube video of Leo Skepi that was embedded on my website.
This video is about Leo Skepi's wisdom, specifically about things to stop doing that will improve your life. In my opinion, Skepi is a very intelligent person, and I highly recommend watching one of his videos/podcasts!
I cannot find any licenses or usage policy. So I'll give the TASL Rule:

I felt like I learned the most from this project. The first thing was the different types of digital media, the second was how to embed, download, upload, and cite these media types. I didn't even know some websites sell or make these media types.
