morgueFile

MorgueFile (http://www.morguefile.com/) is a website with a large archive of photos that anyone can use in anything. It’s a very useful website for a design specialist because of how much easier it makes it to find photos for projects. It’s very hard to find non-copyrighted photos to use in projects, but morgueFile offers a wide selection of photos absolutely free for the designer to use. Seeing as everything has a copyright, it’s nice to find a place where you can get material to work with that you won’t be breaking the law by using. Hopefully morgueFile inspires more websites like it to do this; hopefully this kind of file sharing in the public domain will rub off on bigger copyright holders and get them to share their works more freely for legal use.
