Graphics+and+Images

=**Tools to Create Graphics, Images, Movies, Animations, Music and MORE!!**= Everyone wants to jazz up their pages with images and graphics. It is really fun to create neat digital art and graphics because once you learn how, the sky is the limit. You never have to purchase new paint, paper, colors, etc. Your digital toolbox holds everything you need to create a masterpiece. Our wiki is also a GREAT place to showcase your work. You can have a world-wide audience with a couple of clicks.

It is very tempting to copy images from anywhere on the web and place them on your own web page. TIS CC members will respect copyright laws when using graphics on our own pages. The easiest way to avoid any copyright issues is to CREATE YOUR OWN graphics, images, animations, movies, etc. We will be working on learning more about this over the next few weeks in CC. Below are a few resources that will get you started. If you know of any more, please add them here!!
