Design Principles

The first example that I found is on UCreative, it gives examples on chalk board design which I think would be useful for my movie review site. I was thinking of doing a teacher design nut instead of today's lesson it would be "Today we are reviewing Deadpool 2'.     The second Example that I found was also on UCreative but instead of a reading list, it would be a Movies to see list. Both Principles are very effective for my website planning Ex-   http://www.ucreative.com/articles/ucreatives-graphic-design-reading-list/

  I have used a lot of the Design Principals, it provides Balance/Contrast, Rhythm/Repetition, Emphasis/Alignment, and finally Unity/Proximity. I think this cover meets the requirements, and the Design Principals blend in nicely.

Rhythm/Repetition-  is also another design principal, the style of the image stays the same and blends in well together. Emphasis/Alignment- You can see the color in the man's helmet, and the text that is used really pops with the sky in behind. Unity/Proximity- All of the cover has the same color tones, and only two different fonts appear on the cover. Overall this cover seems to meet the design principals.

Public Domain and Creative Common Websites

ccMixer.org- This first website that I found offers up to thousands of creative commons licensed remixed songs, any genre is available. This site could be helpful if you needed to use a track for a movie and didn't want to pay to copyright fee. Archive.org- This site offers a huge selection of audio, video, and text documents under the Creative Commons license. This site is a good site to go to in general for anything to do with Creative Commons. The Public Domain Project by Pond5- This is a way to make historic media files available for Creative Projects, it has over 60 thousand files in a collection. This is a good place to go if you needed something for a project to do with English Class

Copyright Decision Tool

Case One Newspaper Article- If you were to publish a newspaper article for educational purposes, and it was part of the course pack, this would be considered a fair dealing. If you were to use this for anything else it would be considered an unfair dealing and would fall under the copyright act. Case Two-Book If you were to use a book for educational purposes as part of a class handout, this would also be considered as a fair dealing. If you were to use it to be published as your own, it would fall under the copyright act right away. Case Three-Musical Score  If you were to use a Musical Score for your own private study, this would be a fair dealing. But if you claimed it as your own it would be considered an unfair dealing.
