FINDING THE MEDIA YOU NEED
Keeping it legal
Some people think images posted on the web are up for grabs. They aren't, any more than beach towels on the beach. Other people think it's okay to take graphics if you're not making money with them. Nope! You still need permission.Royalty Free Creative Commons
Luckily, lots of generous people do let you use their pictures with no strings attached. Others just ask for credit and a link back in exchange.
Creative Commons is a great source for graphics, images, videos and even music, as long as you're willing to follow their terms of use. There's varying levels of Creative Commons licenses, usually indicated by a small graphic and/or two-letter abbreviation beneath the picture on the webpage where it appears:BY: Available with attribution (credit) and a link back to where you found it. All Creative Commons images have this license. Tip: Want to know how to get a caption under a graphic like I did? See my image captions tutorial.ND: "No Derivatives" meaning you can't change, manipulate, or composite the graphic. Use the picture as is!NC: NonCommercial. Sorry, you can't make money on these photos. That means you can't use these photos on pages that make money (like Squidoo), and of course no printing them on t-shirts and mugs for sale on Zazzle or Cafepress.SA: Share Alike. That means you should post your image with the same level of Creative Commons license.DOING YOUR OWN THING
Tip: If you search on Creative Commons.org, you can limit your search to images licensed for commercial use and/or adaptation/remixing on their top banner.
You have a camera, don't you, or a phone that takes really great pictures and videos, or friends who take them. Us those images, but make sure you have permission. Or record the sound of that motorcycle or boat. Record your voice or someone else's to use for sound-over. If another person is in them, have them sign a little contract for you.
