That’s illegal!
Ever wonder where people get their images from when marketing their business? You’re probably thinking, “yay, Google”. Well THAT’S ILLEGAL! There is a lot of protection that goes into any form of art including logos, images etc. It’s not uncommon for smaller start ups to come to us for some professional marketing collateral and their desire to “use an image found on the internet”. If you haven’t noticed this is why many images you see have a watermark on them. That is to remind you that the image belongs to the creator and it is not okay to simply grab it off the internet and then apply in your own marketing material.
Some will ask, “can’t we just Photoshop the watermark off?” No, THAT’S ILLEGAL! If you did not buy the image and it’s appropriate license from the owner then you cannot use it. So what do you do?
