Finding images

There are loads of great, high quality images you can find online that are considered Public Domain. This means that the creator is happy for you to use them without paying for them or asking their permission. Attribution is not needed, but it’s still good to credit the creator by including their details.

Here are some reliable websites to search for free images:

• Pixabay - photos, illustrations, vector graphics
• Undraw - illustrations, easily change colour scheme prior to downloading 
• Freerange – photos, illustrations
• Freepik – photos, vector graphics

We've chosen an example illustration from Undraw to show the quality of some of these resources.
