Photos from phones
Phone photographs can vary a lot in quality in
terms of sharpness and detail. It mainly depends
on the pixel count and the size of the photo on
the printed page. We will always do what we can
to make images usable but that isn’t always
possible.
The Internet is a useful design resource for
finding photographs and graphics but care must
be taken in deciding what to use.
Images from websites
These are normally not good enough quality.
Website images are usu–ally low resolution
(72dpi) to speed up their display on screens.
They can sometimes be used if the printed
version is to be small or if quality is not
important.
Image search sites
These vary in quality but are sometimes good
enough. Bear in mind that many high quality
Internet images are commercial products with a
copyright watermark on them.
Google Images, Bing Images - many are low
quality, there are copyright issues and some
have watermarks
Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay - free to use, no
watermarks
