Accessibility
For my final project I utilized all forms of accessibility necessary. I included alt text for all images posted on my site, I created transcripts for all audio/ podcast recordings, I utilized high contrast colors on my site, I used headers to organize content on my website, and I included descriptive link text for all links on my website.
Media/ Source Credit
At the end of each of my posts, I included a credit and attribution section where I listed who created and edited the podcast (me!), where my intro and outro music came from, any sources I may have used, where I got my images, and who created the TV series that I discuss within my podcast. I also provided a link to each to ensure full credit is given. Also, I included captions underneath images that state what website the image was taken from.
Information Accuracy
My podcast was mostly based on my opinion, but I did utilize some blog and fandom sites that helped to organize my thoughts and ensure that I was accurately relaying information from the show.
Copyright License
I chose CC BY-ND 4.0 for my license. This is the same license I chose for my course subdomain. This license states that anyone can redistribute my work, so long as it is unchanged and I am given full credit. I chose this because I think it’s important to allow individuals to have access to digital work, but I wanted to ensure that credit was given where credit is due and my name is associated with my thoughts and my thoughts only.
AI Help
I did not use AI for anything in this project.
Media Making Process
For this project, I used Vectr and the Cricut app to create my favicon and header for my website. I struggled with finding the right shape on Vectr, so I utilized the free shapes on Cricut to make my header and then inputted it into Vectr to alter the size for my header and favicon. I knew ahead of time what I wanted my favicon and header to be so this process was pretty quick and easy. The longest part of the process was creating my site. It was a lot of trial and error to ensure my site looked how I wanted it to. Once I had the site complete, I created my podcast using the voice memo app on Iphone and wired Apple headphones. I then downloaded the audio on my laptop and edited it using Soundtrap. I found the intro/outro music on Envato, which took a long time to find something I liked and that matched the vibe of my podcast.
