I am doing a design project at high school, if I use stock photography that I’ve bought, is that ok? Or will the markers just think I took them off the internet? How can I prove I am licensed to use them? Also is it worth it to buy photography?
Please help me! I’m really stuck.
Would I get in trouble for using those microsoft clip art photography images? They’re free to download but are they meant to be used by anyone for anything?
Of course it will be OK to use stock images you have bought, that is what they are there for. Just be sure to reference the website(s) you purchased the images from when you hand in the assignment and include copies of emails/receipts . I imagine your lecturer will be impressed that you have gone the sensible and legal route of purchasing an image to use for your project rather than just grabbing one off Google (which 99% of kids these days would do).
As for the Microsoft clip art images?, I couldn’t tell you. I am guessing they are public domain, but I can’t tell you for sure.
