how to attribute artist for CC images in print format

7 replies
Greetings,

I searched through forum before posting this question.

Does anyone know how to properly attribute the artist of a photograph available under CC?

The photograph will be printed in a calendar.

Thanks.

    Don't phrase an attribution in such a way that it implies that they endorse you in any way. The above is fine. Ideally, you would include a link to the license, but that is not always ideal or possible in print media.

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    Simply write the name of the artist in a not so visible area of the photo so as not to ruin the composition. The watermark shouldn't be too big or in bright colors, ideally it should blend well with the photography. So maybe just a little logo or the photographer's one word nickname or name.

      Hello there,

      Thanks for your response.

      Would it be acceptable to write the names of the photographers on the back of the calendar, in a list sort of fashion. Something like...

      i.e.: January by 'Name'

        If you do that, use Ghoster's template. Add the url where you got the photo and the url to the license.

          okay thanks,

          I'll look around for what Ghoster's template means.
