Digital Ethics

Project Description

For this project I had to collect different media types from Creative Commons and other websites.

Animation Sample -Animated GIF

This is an example of an animated gif I found on DeviantArt.

I downloaded this animated GIF from DeviantArt and then uploaded it to my website.

I could not find any licensing information or sharing limitations, so I will credit and link to the original source and follow the TASL rule of thumb, which stands for Title, Author, Source, and License.
