2. DiDA – Sources table Important point!!! We will be using image manipulation software to make the poster This means we can potentially combine many different images. As such gather a number of images which could be combined.

3. DiDA – Sources table Copyright Images found through google will be copyrighted What does that mean? Well they are owned by someone who you need to get permission from! Essentially this heavily restricts what you can use.

4. DiDA – Sources table Look at this image

7. DiDA – Sources table Websites can not be trusted!! The last example was simple to work out who owned it. But this is more the exception than the norm. For example look at this website

8. DiDA – Sources table This website was made by a random member of the public. The monkey image they used was taken from google images. We have no idea who owns the rights to the photo!!

9. DiDA – Sources table Corporations pay big bucks for photos! Corporations, especially media companies, will retain the rights to images. They may have paid a lot of money for them or potentially may make a lot of money from them. For example if the BBC took a photo of a rare animal they could then sell that as no one else will have the image.

10. DiDA – Sources table So where do companies get images from? They get them from a number of sources 1) Royalty free websites 2) Take images themselves 3) Ask permission to use the photo. Did you know? If you send an image to the BBC they can share it with other 3 rd parties WITHOUT your permission! Always read terms and conditions

11. DiDA – Sources table Royalty free There are websites which either sell or offer images for free. These images are known as royality free as there are no restrictions placed on them meaning that you can use them as you wish. They are sometimes referred to as stock images.

16. DiDA – Sources table Other sources Creating images or taking photos Important point! – Try and take images against a solid colour background. – This makes editing easier! If you plan to scan an image in then ensure it is NOT done in pencil.

17. DiDA – Sources table Asking permission If you desperately want to use an image you have found on someone's website then you will need to ask for permission. You need to – Find their email address or a way of contacting them – Send an email to them and RECORD the email. If you cannot find contact details then you CANNOT use it.

18. DiDA – Sources table Formal emails The email must be formal. So the following is not acceptable. “Can I use an image off your website for my coursework. “ This will be greeted with a negative response.

19. DiDA – Sources table Being formal Address them by name (if you know it) or as Sir / Madame Write it as you would a letter. Say exactly what image you would like to use. Explain why you want to use it and what you plan to do with it. Ask nicely! Use full sentences and paragraphs.

20. DiDA – Sources table Activity Find an image through Google images which you would like to use. Draft an email to the owner of the image and send that email to your ICT teacher. The point of this activity is to ensure you can draft a formal email, not to actually get permission.
