1st idea: I will create an interactive, hyper-text version of Molly McCully Brown’s collection of poems, choosing bits of writing from the entire collection and mapping them in interesting new ways. If the technology allows, I will create this on a background of a rough-drawn map of the Virginia State Colony, having sections of…
I was already familiar with Creative Commons through some other projects I’ve done in high school and college, so I was excited to see this as the topic of today’s blog post. However, I discovered quickly that I am now less impressed with it than I used to be, though I’m not thoroughly sure why…
I’ve had people recommend using Creative Commons to get pictures for different assignments before, but I’ve never actually used it until now. In the past I’ve just specified “creative commons” in with whatever I was searching on Google to avoid any copyright issues. Looking at the actual website for Creative Commons, I have to say…
As part of my Creative Commons website search, I began with a search for David Bowie to see what kind of pictures would come up, but was not heavily interested with the results. So I searched “horror”, “penny dreadfuls”, and finally “video games” which gave me a set of results I couldn’t turn away. That…
I went into Creative Commons not knowing what was going on, I then saw the search bar and just assume it was another search engine like google. Just like my fellow classmates I searched up a couple of words on Creative Commons more specifically Nicki Minaj and Overwatch. When I search Nicki Minaj I got…
As Jordyn said, I found that I had different experiences with the search features on the site. I tried the word dolphin both in the search feature on the syllabus and in the search feature under Use and Remix. In the first, the first few pages were color photographs. In the second, I got similar results…
I tried a number of search terms before finally settling on “impressionism” for today’s blog post. Since things that have an expired copyright are easy to find in the public domain, I figured that 19th century art was my best bet. And indeed, I did find some beautiful examples of art. Take, for instance, this:…
In browsing the Creative Commons, I started by looking through the website. I checked the about page and the search options to get an idea of the kinds of things that were available in the database. As far as I could tell, Creative Commons search offers mostly images. I never got a result that was…
I had a hard time figuring out what to search up in the creative commons. I asked one of my roommates to give me something and she told me ducks. Well, that didn’t give me much except a bunch of pictures of ducks sitting in a pond and some duck statues. While it was interesting to see…
I did my search on the concept of nature and darkness, and used google to search for Creative Commons images, videos, and audio tracks that fit with that idea. Photos were the easiest to find in quantity, though I had to search through them for quality. I noticed on the Creative Commons Search particularly that…
