FIND IMAGES
It's so easy to find pictures on the internet, but you may be required to get permission of the creator or the owner of the image to use it.
Use our database Britannica ImageQuest, which contains millions of images rights-cleared for educational use.

-
On your image search results page:

Click on Tools.

-
Click on Size and choose Large so you get a clear, sharp image for your poster.
-
NOTE: even though you don't need to obtain permission to use the image, you still must cite it!
