The document provides guidance on finding the right background image for a business profile page. It recommends using Flickr to find images under Creative Commons licenses that allow free use as long as attribution is provided. Flickr's advanced search allows filtering for Creative Commons images, and the proper attribution including the photo name, author, and source should be added to the image. While pricier, iStockphoto is also recommended for finding professional photos and illustrations.

1. Find the Right Background Image for your Biz
Page
Finding the right picture for your Biz Page may be difficult, but we’ll help you through your
search for the perfect image. To begin, make sure the height of your photo is 1000 and width a
little longer. Do not exceed 2000 pixels in height
For those of you who are on a budget when it comes to spending, Flickr is there for you. Flickr
has a vast selection of photos to choose from by amazing photographers. Many artists and
photographers have chosen to put forward their images under a Creative Commons license. This
allows anyone to use their photo as long as proper attributes are given to the original author.
To start, use Flickr’s advanced search and scroll to the very bottom of the page. There you will
find the Creative Commons:
Be sure to check the boxes, or else you do not have permission to use the photos from the
original author. Begin your search for a photo that would fit your business profile page. The
large size image should work best for your Biz Profile.
Once you have found a photo, remember to include the proper attributions. Give credit to the
author of the photo by mentioning the name of the photo, the author of the photo as well as
where you got the photo. You can do this in Paint or any photo editing software you prefer.

the money. Not only will you find professional photos but as well as illustrations. The best size
iStockphoto to use would be the medium size photo.
