This document provides guidance on finding and using images for speeches. It discusses why images are useful for enhancing audience attention, reinforcing spoken words, and clarifying complex ideas. It then describes four sources for finding images: Creative Commons licensed images, Google Images, Wikimedia Commons, and Flickr. For each source, it explains what it is and provides steps for searching and downloading images with appropriate licenses for reuse. The document stresses the importance of properly attributing any images used to the original creator.
