“How does one get images for a presentation?” is a question I am frequently asked. The answer is the same as so many other questions we have. Ask you friendly local search engine.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Click here<\/a>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>I mostly use Google image search trying to be careful that the images I use are of good quality, freely available and, if necessary, appropriately referenced. How I make the individual choices is of course part of the creative process but I thought I’d share a few simple steps that have helped me in recent presentations.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>The legal side of this is that one should ONLY use images that are available for reuse. Google can help you there. Let’s work through an example.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>I want to illustrate something with ice cream.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Got to Google and simply enter “ice cream”. You should get\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>There are 3 very helpful buttons. No1 will take you directly to images of “ice cream” with some (occasionally) helpful collections across the top. Before you get carried away (there’s a lot of lovely ice cream) you need to filter the search using first the Search tools button No2, then the Size option selecting LARGE.\u00a0<\/span>Then under Usage Rights (No3) make your choice of appropriate options. THIS is the group from which you should chose your image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/a>I then scroll through until I find one that I believe fits my purpose and click on it.\u00a0<\/span>Go to the individual image, make sure it is as zoomed in as possible by clicking on it and then save by right clicking.\u00a0<\/span>Then how you use the image within your presentation depends on your composition.<\/span><\/div>\n
