So when I originally saw this assignment on the website I had no clue what we were supposed to be researching. However after doing some research I came across a website that gave a great descriptive detail about what this whole issue was all about. Here are the two websites that I got most of ...

My first Daily Create was to draw a tribute album for a favorite band. I chose a simple album cover by Ratatat and freehanded it on Paint. I added similar colors for the clothes and added the green soundwaves to represent their sweet tones. With the name of the band in a cool font I think the whole tribute album art is rather nice. My second Daily Create was the easiest to do. My friend just had something lit and I asked him to blow the smoke over the light for a cool effect. Finally, for my third Daily Create, the only object I could readily come up with to ...

This weeks daily creates This week, all three DCs were photos, one was a picture I had recently taken this summer, the other two I took specifically for this assignment. It was slightly interesting doing tdc244 because my little brother went through a phase where he would loudly protest anyone putting something(other than a hat) ...

When I saw that we had to do research on Creative Commons (CC), my first thought was: “I’ve seen that before!” and I went off to look at several webcomics I follow which are licensed under CC. In the age of the Internet, it is insanely easy to share anything worldwide. This can be good for ...

As a result, Creative Commons can amass a large database of free to upload, free to share media and make it available to Internet users. One of the biggest problems of the unlimited cyberspace is copyright issues, and opening up this whole new library certainly allievates it. For the individual artist, illegal downloading ...

So I was introduced to Flickr actually last semester in ProfessoMcCarthy’s Lit. Journal class where you design and run your own online literary journal. In creating our own website essentially, my teammates and I sometimes needed more than just the artwork that we were provided by our contributors to spice up our site. This lead us to the wonderful Creative Commons section of Flickr. Here is what Creative Commons has to say about itself: Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, United States devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to...

The videos about creativity and art, as well as the rules for teachers and students (can be found here), sent across one major message that creativity and art do not just appear. It is a slow, hard, and continuous process. Furthermore, you need to be constantly … Continue reading →

Creative Commons or CC, is the new idea of sharing knowledge and copyrighted material in a manner that allows for the further exploration and creation of new ideas. By making knowledge available for others to take advantage of allows for more strides … Continue reading →
