Digital Media Exploration

Project Description

For this project I had to collect samples of different types of media from Creative Commons and credit them accordingly.

Image Sample - JPG

This is a photo I took in Aruba in one of their natural pools. I did not do any additional editing to it as I thought it was already naturally beautiful.

I did resize it to make it larger and to fit proportionately with the website format. I also uploaded it at a JPEG to my CSIT 101 OneDrive folder from my iPhone.

I'm sharing this image under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 License.

Audio Sample - MP3

Sailence - The Void We Share.mp3

This is an example of an audio file called "The Void We Share." I selected it because it reminded me of the ambient music I like to listen to when I am trying to focus in on doing a task.

I downloaded this audio file which is an mp3 and then uploaded it to my Google Drive so I could embed it on my website.

I searched the artists official profiles and Spotify for a usage policy, but none was provided. Therefore, this audio is used under Standard Copyright for educational purposes.

Credit for the audio is below:

Animation Sample - Animated GIF

This is an example of an animated gif if found on Giphy. An animated gif is an image file that contains different frames of an image shown in a sequence to simulate it moving.

I downloaded this gif from Giphy and then uploaded it to my website.

I didn't find any licensing information or restrictions for sharing, so I will credit and link to the original source following TASL.

Video Sample - YouTube

This is an example of an embedded video.

This is a music video for a song by the Deftones from their most recent album Private Music.

I embedded this video from YouTube, which offered an embed code, but there was no Creative Commons usage policy or licensing information provided by the creator.

Below is the official credit to the creator with all the appropriate links.

Album: Private Music (2025)

(There is no active link for Reprise Records as they are now operating under the Warner Music Group Umbrella.)

Lessons Learned

I learned a lot doing this project! Firstly, all of the different media types. I never really paid attention to how many there are. Secondly, how to include different media types and how to share them. And lastly, I learned about Creative Commons and how to correctly credit the media I find, create, and use.
