ETHICAL ENTRY 2

As a graphic designer images are need in design work.In the past when I had use images form different site I made sure to cite and give credit under the images. Also I would of make sure the images don’t have copyright. Then I would of buy it. Most of the time I like taking the images for my own project.  I use the images for design idea but I don’t directly use an image.Also I make sure to cite the website .  If I have use an images then it for educational purpose not for commercial purpose.  Also I make sure to cite the website .

After reading the AGIA Ethical guideline ,  guide to design, photography and illustration. I think it very important to cite the website and cite images. Give credit each images your using because you never know when it could effect you. Now I will be more aware when I am using an image. Those guideline helps a lot to stay out of copyright  and giving credit. In my opinion the  best way  is using own images will be safe.

My opinion about  Shepard Fairey copyright case is Shepard Fairey should of give credit for the Obama hope poster. Before even using the poster he should of see if the image had an copyright. The best way he could of use it by getting permission. Also he should of acknowledge where the Obama hope poster came form. Even changing the style of an image it still not enough to say it your own work. Form the Shepard Fairey case I learn I should always acknowledge where is the images coming form and if there is an copyright and first able get permission before using an image.
