Public Domain and Creative Commons
Pexels
Pexels is an image hosting website that offers all kinds of high quality images in the public domain. They also offer images that licensed under the Creative Commons Zero License (CC0). Compared to most of the other sites of its kind that offer free images, Pexels offers photos that are of genuinely good quality and are clearly tagged and easy to search for. They offer pictures that many students would actually enjoy using for projects and other creations. This website is very effective in searching for images, and it offers a lot of high quality material that I can see myself using in the future.
Creative Commons
The website Creative Commons is used as its own search engine for free commercially usable files, meaning they get their files from different sources depending on what type of file it is you are searching for. You can select where you want the file will be found on, like YouTube, Google Images, or SoundCloud. The website then offers results depending on what website you choose and the type of image/video/sound you were looking for, and will only show available files that are able to be used for commercial use. I found that this website was very easy to use, and you are given a lot of control as to where you want the files to come from, etc. I also found that the search results are very accurate and helpful, and even better if you are willing to look into the results. I would probably use this website again in the future.
Public Domain Project
The Public Domain Project contains a large offering of different video, audio, and image files that are free for use. There is a relatively good selection to choose from as well, of each type of file, and it is easy to make specific changes and tags to your search, allowing for a lot of well tailored content. I found this website very simple to use, and it was not annoying to search on like many other. It also offers really high quality content, which would be extremely helpful with projects and independent creations. This website is definitely one that I will be using in the future.
