Copyright-free graphicsLinks to other sites that might be useful : There are some wonderful free graphics places on the web - and also many that will try to get you to pay for them, bombard you with spam or infect your computer! I will advertise here the ones that I have found that are free and offer useful graphics. I will add to the list as I find them. Remember to acknowledge the source of your graphics if you use them - in a DiDA project amend the graphic to suit your theme!
Examples of what you can get on the web... The originator of these cute creatures wants you to appreciate her art and use it. Check it out! The Spanish company that produced these faces have put them out as ' Free for Personal and Commercial Use '... but I wonder if they have permission from Nickelodeon. In a project I would avoid such obviously copyrighted images unless you have personal permission from the originator! Use common sense when taking 'free' images from sites - err on the side of caution. Countries have different laws - in one country you may be breaching copyright whilst in another it may not be a problem. That is how counterfeit goods can be mass produced abroad - legally in the country of origin - but an offence when you bring them into this country. It is only a project - don't risk everything to use a graphic that might be unlawful! For your own site it would probably be okay to use these and refer to the page that gave you permission. Then if there was a copyright issue it would probably by-pass you and go to the Spanish source... but it is best to contact Nickelodean if you really want to use them! I have contacted Nickelodean to ask for their response. There are also a lot of sites that allow you to make up your own characters. You can then take a screenshot of your creation and use it as a basis for a graphic creation of your own! |
