HomeOnTheRanch Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I need to design some advertising. All I have at my disposal is the www, Open Office, and a paint program. I need a graphic of a laptop (or other simple, recognizable computer) that I can customize what appears on the screen. So, the screen would be directly facing the viewer, but the keyboard, etc would be slanted for perspective. I will also have text below the computer, but the computer screen area needs to be 6-8" wide without pixelation. "Cartoon" or drawing is find, but I would love to find a photo. Can anyone find something that I can use. This will be for a local non-profit. No one outside of a 25 mile radius of me will see it, but I have this idea and I want it to look nice! TIA! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's illegal to use a photo off the net for your advertising. If you go to shutterstock.com or istockphoto you can find quite a lot of royalty free photos at very low prices. Hope you can find something that works :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, advertising is not "non-commercial use". As far as any sites that might have no restrictions, I'd be wary...who knows if they have photo releases for their subjects, etc. etc. IDK, I was in the ad biz for years; dh still is. My post was based on what is acceptable in the ad industry. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
