Sourcing Images
from the Web
“KITTEN 013” by John via Flickr CC BY 2.0
When might I need images that I find from the
web to use?
● For Social Media Posts
● For Blog Posts
● On Websites
● On Print Material
Examples
Creative Commons
“Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization
that works to increase the amount of creativity
(cultural, educational, and scientific content)
available in “the commons” — the body of work
that is available to the public for free and legal
sharing, use, repurposing, and remixing.”
Creative Commons http://search.creativecommons.org/
Wikimedia commons is
another great place to
find images to use on the
web.
WikiMedia Commons
WikiMedia Commons
The license information is
next to the title of the image.
Just click it.
Scroll down to find out licensing info for a
specific image.
WikiMedia Commons
Flickr is a great place to search for images. You just have to make sure
that you are searching images “Creative Commons Only” because
there are a lot of images on Flickr with No Rights Reserved.
Flickr
OK… I’ve found a Flickr image now what.
Click
“Some
Rights
Reserved”
to view the
image
license
This is an example of a
Creative Commons
attribution license.
Image Licenses - Commercial
1. Attribution CC BY:
This license lets you distribute, remix, tweak, and build up an image and even use it
commercially - as long as you credit the author of the original image you are using.
2. Attribution-ShareAlike CC BY -SA
This license is similar to the one above, however the image that you create must also be
licensed with the same license, so others can use your derivative in the future, even
commercially.
3. Attribution-NoDeriv CC BY -ND
This license allows you to use an image but you cannot build upon or alter the image at all, and
you need to attribute the original author.
Image Licenses- NonCommercial
4. Attribution-Non Commercial CC BY -NC
This license allows you to remix, tweak, and build upon the original image but you must
attribute the author and you creation must be non-commercial.
5. Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike CC BY -NC-SA
This license only allows you to use an image non-commercially, and you must license your
creation under identical terms for others to use non commercially.
6. Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC BY -NC-ND
This license is the most limiting. It only allows you to use an image you find non
commercially, and you may not change or alter any part of it, and you also must attribute the
original author.
OK i get it, I have to attribute. How do i do that?
For Facebook posts, either putting
an attribution in the text that goes
along with the image (caption) or
actually on the image is best.
Tip: Make the font a little
transparent so it isn’t distracting
from the overall image.
Ideal Attributions:
“Image Title” by Author is licensed under CC BY 2.0
“Image Title” by Author is licensed under CC BY 2.0 / Cropped from original
*Link to image, author profile, and license:*
*Note changes if any were made:*
*If you made a derivative work:*
The work “New Title” is a derivative of “Image Title” by Author used under CC
BY. “New Title” is licensed under under CC BY by [Your Name]
OK i get it, I have to attribute. How do i do that?
In blog posts, usually you can
just have the image attribution
in a caption below or part of the
image.
Public Domain
“When a work is in the public domain, it is free
for use by anyone for any purpose without
restriction under copyright law. Public domain
is the purest form of open/free, since no one
owns or controls the material in any way
(source).”
Public Domain
Occasionally online, you
might run into some images
that are actually in the public
domain. These are the best
to use because they are
copyright free.
Examples (Using Public Domain Images)
Sometimes organizations may
want to use images where
they do not need to attribute
the author. In those cases, it
is best to use stock photos
from paid or free websites.
What about when I need an image but I can’t
source / attribute it?

Conclusion
Understand CC licenses, use images
appropriately, attribute the authors, and
contribute media to the Creative Commons
community if you can!

Editor's Notes

  1. When you use Creative Commons images, you need to add a full attribution link. When you use an image from one of your partner organizations, you can sometimes get approval from them on using a shorter attribution like the example top left.
  2. http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/3/35/Creativecommons-what-is-creative-commons_eng.pdf
  3. http://search.creativecommons.org/ Is where you should start when looking for images. It lists all the places that make it easy to figure out with images you are allowed to use. You simply type in your search term, then click the button of which site you’d like to conduct your search on. I’ve had the most luck with Flickr and Wikimedia Commons.
  4. When searching on WikiMedia commons, make sure you click the checkbox for “commons”
  5. The licensing information is usually right next to the image title. If you click it, it will open up a new page that displays the Creative Commons license.
  6. Sometimes WikiMedia commons image results look like this. If you scroll down the page, you can see the licensing information, and find the link to the Creative Commons license page. Above the licensing information is also the name of the image author and a link to their profile. You will need all this information when composing your image attribution.
  7. Flickr Advanced Search makes it easy to only search for images you can use legally https://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/?q=World%20Cup%202014&l=commderiv
  8. The licnesing information can be found in the bottom right part of the page (beneath the download icon). They have handy icons so that you know what kind of license the image has. Explanations for these icons can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
  9. This image has a Attribution 2.0 license. It states that you can share this image, and also adapt it for any purpose - even commercially. All you have to do is credit the person who took the photo originally, link to this license page, and] indicate if changes were made to the image.
  10. Find more information on licensing here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/
  11. Find more information on licensing here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/
  12. This work, "90fied", is a derivative of "Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco " bytvol , used under CC BY . "90fied" is licensed under CC BY by [Your name here].
  13. http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Public_domain
  14. These are great because you don’t need to attribute anyone or work attribution into the design.
  15. You can often find pictures of important historical people in the public domain, as well as scientific images.
  16. “Freeimages was launched in February 2001 as an alternative for expensive stock photography. The idea was to create a site where creative people could exchange their photos for inspiration or work. The site has evolved into the massive community you see today — there are over 2,500,000 registered users and around 400,000 photos online. “ http://www.freeimages.com/help/1
