What is creative Commons?

Creative Commons

If you are working on a creative project that requires music, images or movies consider searching for media with a Creative Commons license. When you search in Creative Commons, you will find media that is free to download, modify or re-use. All you have to is note the author of the work in your Works Cited/Credits.

  • If you are looking for images, try searching Google through Creative Commons.
    • Unsplash is an awesome tool for finding CC images.
  • If you are searching for music, try searching SoundCloud in Creative Commons. 
  • If you are looking for moving images (film) try searching in Archive.org.
