The topic of my term project was " New Media and Creative Arts". we're all well aware of the definitation of new media and creative arts includes reading, writing, photography, painting, theater, music etc etc.
So I decided to research and cover three major aspects of new media which are writing, photography and art. I picked three different websites which are contributing towards these three aspects of new media which are creative commons, flickr and Deviant Art.
Creative commons was first found in 2001 with the generous support of the Center for the Public Domain. They introduced this new idea of “some rights reserved” as opposed to "All rights reserved". Creative commons allows you to use, distribute or remix and tweak websites, scholarship, music, film, photography, literature, courseware but not softwares under four different kind of licenses.

Flickr: Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. The service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.As of November 2008, it claims to host more than 3 billion images. There are different features of flickr:
1. Upload
2. Editing
3. Organize
4. Share
5. Maps
6. Make Stuff
7. Keep in Touch
Deviant Art:
Works are organized in a comprehensive category structure, including photography, digital art, traditional art, literature, Flash, filmmaking, and skins for applications, among others, along with extensive downloadable resources such as tutorials and stock photography.
•DeviantART has a series of forums.
•AdCast
•Subscription
•Critique
•DeviantART Shop
•Prints II
At the end i described overall advantages of all three websites that how they're giving us a platform to use, benefit and spread what we think, what we do and how we want things to work.
