A whole lot goes into one being able to put out the perfect writeup out here on the blockchain to attract the best of audiences and to be able to convey the needed message to the target individuals. Learning is an everyday thing and for one to be successful on the blockchain he or she ought to be amenable to learning everyday.

One such thing we ought to learn which is crucial to being unable to put up a great and aesthetically appealing writeup is the use of images. Images are extremely important to writeups, without them our writings become boring, unattractive and unrelatable. Getting the right image could make all the difference in one understanding what you wish to share with the community.

But then the issue has to do with having the authorization for the use of that image. Ideally, one ought to use their own images, this is best for the proof of brain system that is run on the blockchain however there are only so many images we could own which could cover every single topic we may wish to share or talk about on the blockchain which brings me to what i wish to talk about today.

Copyright free images. It may sound difficult to come by, especially when all the perfect images could easily be googled and selected under the image section, the issue here is that, whiles some of them may allow its usage for writeups and duplication for other intended purposes, some have copyright restrictions which prevents you from using them in your writeups, thus, using them becomes an infringement on the right of the author or artist or photographer. And we have to do our very best to always use copyright free images to be on the safer side.


Copyright Free Source


And so i've decided to share three of the most common copyright free image source or websites where you could find variety of images that would almost always fit your writings. I do hope that they help a dear writer or reader out there and help make their writings even more beautiful for the benefit of both the Hive Ghana Community and the Blockchain as a whole.

  • Pixabay.com;

I am going with Pixabay first because it is my favorite place to find copyright free images, artists are always uploading amazing images on the daily and there is so much variety if only you would take your time to search, i can assure you, you will find what you are looking for.

And so do give it a try, and let me have your feedback if you also fall in love with their website. Also, their images are of very high quality which means you have nothing to worry about with regards to the graphics.

  • Pexels.com

Pexels is the place i go to when i want a change from pixabay or someway somehow what i am looking for can't be found on pixabay. Sometimes i just go there to vary my image sources. Their images are also of very high quality and so you do not have to worry about graphics and their images are a whole lot and varied.

Their artists are amazing at what they do and their interface is as simple as pixabay and so you shouldn't find any difficulties navigating. Do give it a search too and let me know your feedback on this. I do hope it helps a dear reader/writer out there.

  • Unsplash

The last site i would talk about is unsplash..com, it is equally a place of beauty, simple interface, variety of images, great artists and photographers, you could vary in your searches and you should definitely be able to get something that would fit whatever idea you wish to convey through your writeups.

This is a very good and solid point. We have it as a duty to learn about these things. Learning to get image from sites that offers images that are free-to-use is very important. It's equally necessary for such images to be sourced properly.
