Copyright and IDD work

A few people have asked about using copyrighted materials. The general consensus is that even though this is a student/college setting, we need to observe copyrights law, especially since our work is displayed on the internet. In general, unless the image you want to use is 72+ years old, your image(s) need to fall into these categories:

a. Obtain permission (this is often lengthy, tedious and may require $$)
b. Use copyright/royalty free images
c. Make your own images (drawing, photos etc).

Excellent sources for stock imagery and public domain information are:
