In this project you will need some images to create your digital products.

Of course images are easy to get online nowadays!

But be very careful: you cannot use just any image you find on the internet because ofcopyright!

If you don't follow the rules, we will not be able to publish your production.

Also, knowing aboutlegal use of images on the internet and being responsible online is an essential skill for your future studies and professional life.

So, what are your options when you need an image to illustrate a digital production?

1. create your own(by hand or with an online drawing tool, or by taking your own photos)

2. use images in the creative commons or in the public domain.

In that case mention the source / the attribution as a caption under the image:

T = the title of the image
A = the author (or artist)
S = the source (or where it is located online)
L = the license for the image

Here is a collection of websites where you can find some copyright-free images (images in the creative commons).

(close the pop-up window asking you to log in, it's not needed)

If you decide to use a browser like Google Images, that's OK too, but make sure first you click on "tools" ---> "usage rights" ----> "creative commons licenses", then when you find an image you like, look for the attribution.

You should always mention the attribution following the TASL method, so write it down next to your image during your research to find it later when you need it for your final product.
