3.06. Building your Snapshots in Time Web Site Requires you to Find and Insert Graphics on your “Snapshots” Project. Here are A few thoughts on graphics to assist you in this module.
· Less is better.
· Let the picture support the words, not overwhelm the words.
· If socially unacceptable sites “pop up”, please act responsibly and close the images and pages promptly. Let your lab teacher know about this unacceptable site.
Using Images from Royalty-free sites. DON’T SKIP THIS SECTION!
You may use the Image
- In digital format on websites, multimedia presentations, broadcast film and video, cell phones.
- In printed promotional materials, magazines, newspapers, books, brochures, flyers, CD/DVD covers, etc.
- Along with your corporate identity on business cards, letterhead, etc.
- To decorate your home, your office or any public place.
You may not use the Image
- For pornographic, unlawful or other immoral purposes, for spreading hate or discrimination, or to defame or victimize other people, societies, cultures.
- To endorse products and services if it depicts a person.
- In a way that can give a bad name to the person(s) depicted on the Image.
- As part of a trademark, service mark or logo.
- SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS!
Always ask permission from the photographer if you want to use the Image
- In website templates that You intend to sell or distribute.
- For creating printed reproductions that You intend to sell.
- On "print on demand" items such as t-shirts, postcards, mouse pads, mugs (e.g. on sites like Cafepress), or on any similar mass produced item that would contain the image in a dominant way.
Be aware of Free Web Sites: Some of them “track cookies” and may even pass viruses through your computer. I am listing some of the sites that I use and have found to be acceptable.
Note: Graphics from some websites are free of charge for anyone to use as long as you don't sell the graphics, or charge for their use. Placing one of their graphics on your website, even if it is a copyrighted website, does not give you ownership rights of the graphic, so please don't try to stop others from using graphics that you are using free of charge. Ownership of a graphic belongs to the creator of the graphic or the person/company that paid to have the graphic created.
