General tips

  • Naming image files
    • give your image a descriptive file name (for example 'Female blowing nose with tissue during flu season'). Avoid meaningless file names like IMG00023.jpg.
  • Borders
    • avoid putting borders around images. The image should go right to the edge of the frame. Unless it is a campaign logo.
  • Read the image copyright standards on when you should attribute your image.
