Photo Archiving Project Discussion- Caitlin

1. This project showed me that it is so much harder to gain access to images in today’s society than ever before. I never knew that so many images were off limits for use. It was honestly quite frustrating and stressful to find 10 images in the public domain. I learned that you need to examine every image and see if it is for public use (in the public domain) or restricted. This project showed me that it is so important to credit your images, or you WILL get into trouble. One thing I really gained from this project was learning how to use unfamiliar software. I really enjoyed displaying my research in the audio slide show. It gave it the creative touch it needed.

2. The point of this project was to show us how important it is to credit images and only use those in the public domain. The mash-up showed us how to illegally use images, but this project was the exact opposite in that it made us follow the law in the most extreme manor. It also got us acquainted with only using those images in the public domain. I am sure that each one of us has never created a project using images only from the public domain. Today’s copyright laws make it impossible to have a collection of images for one topic. That is why it was so hard to come up with 10 images on Hrotsvit of Gandersheim.
