Antonio’s Guidelines
Only Use Images We Own or Have Permission To Use
We Created The Image
We Took The Picture
From A Sponsor
From Amazon
We took a picture we do not own and created something UNIQUE with new lines (ran through filters)
Other Guidelines
Eliminate Images – Images are most important in first 500 words, past that less important. It’s OK to just delete images that pose too high of a risk (delete in the article and off the server)
Prefer promotion of Infographics – we should better interlink to these
OK to use the same image MANY times in various articles.
Have artists create variations of existing images and slice/dice infographics.
