Strong visuals can make your presentation or poster more engaging and memorable—but it’s important to choose images that are both high-quality and legally usable. Whether you need photos, charts, or illustrations, there are many free and ethical options available through the library and open-access collections.
Tips for using images effectively:
Choose images that support your message, not distract from it.
Use consistent visual styles and colors for a polished look.
Always credit the creator, even if the image is labeled for free use.
Avoid stretching or distorting images—maintain original proportions.
Review the Library’s Attribution Guide for guidance on using and citing images in your work.
