3. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
An advantage of sourcing images this way is that if you are not looking to be too specific
on a topic, you will be able to find plenty of images inside if you find the right book. For
example if you want to find pictures on rivers and lakes, you will be able to find plenty if
you find the right book for it. A second advantage of sourcing images from books is that
you should have no issue in terms of the quality of the picture. All books require to be
analysed and edited before being published so they will check whether or not the images
are up to a good enough standard.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
A huge disadvantage to sourcing images from books is that it will be extremely hard to
find a specific picture. For example f you find a book on sport it will be difficult to find a
specific team or topic. In other instances you might not be able to find a book at all on
your chosen topic. The images could also potentially be copyright. You could get into
trouble for getting a picture from a book with no permission.
5. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Google images are usually of high quality and offer the widest variety of images on the
internet. They usually offer links to websites for references and give the resolution and
quality of the image below. They are also easy to find and you should have no problem in
searching for any topic.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Some images can be blurred and have a poor resolution. Google images sometime don’t
have a source which can be damaging when coming to write reviews and when analysing
a certain picture. Some of the images will also be copyright which will be a huge problem.
Another disadvantage of google images is that come pictures have the make of the
picture plastered all over it. Getty Images lie to do this where they will put their logo all
over the image to avoid potential copyright.
7. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
An advantage of sourcing images this way is that the photos are relatively easy to find
and are usually of good quality. Another advantage is that they usually provide relative
information about the picture such as resolution and image size.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
A disadvantage of this is that the images come at a cost. There is no way around this as if
you don’t pay for the pictures, they will come with watermarks. A second disadvantage is
that even though they are not free, they do not have a wider search than google which
some people could find a problem considering that google provide their images with no
charge.
9. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
These images usually have really good quality and are mostly found in HD . Another
advantage is that because all the photos are copyright free you will not get into any
trouble so therefore you can use the photos in any way that you want to.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
A big problem with sourcing images this way is that the choice is not as broad as Google
images and you might struggle to find a picture if you are searching specifically. Another
disadvantage is that it is not certain that the photo will always be of good quality. This is
usually because the high quality photo is usually held by a copywriter.
11. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
The images are easy to find and are already ready for you to import or place in a
document. They also should be sourced and be of good quality. Another advantage would
be that the images are free because they have been taken yourself.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
There is a chance you have grabbed it from the internet without collecting a source which
could be a problem if you analyse one of you’re existing images. Another disadvantage is
that you might not be able to find or take the image that you want. This could be because
you might not be able to access the area or you just simply couldn’t get your hands on a
camera and a tripod which potentially can be expensive.
17. Advantages of different resolutions:
The advantage of a high resolution image is that they show greater detail for big print outs
and look great to go on walls because the quality stays the same. An advantage with
smaller resolutions is that they look great in small icons because they display the highest
quality possible
Disadvantages of different resolutions:
A disadvantage of different resolutions is that they are not very versatile as to how many
different sizes they can produce while maintaining the same quality.
