Tài liệu From Dull to Cool by Adding Graphics

But wait! There’s more .
After a while, the different graphic repositories start to look alike. Call me a curmudgeon, but
you have only so many different ways to create a 50 × 50 pixel bullet graphic, right? Well, if
the previous two repositories don’t have what you want, here are a few more good ones:
ã Graphics Station: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/6603/
ã Webular Wasteland: http://www.aceent.com/w2/
ã The Icon Bazaar: http://www.iconbazaar.com/
Of course, you can just travel the Net, and when you see something you like, grab it with a
screen-capture program or download it directly. Different Web browsers offer different tools
to accomplish just this task. With Explorer, for example, right-click a graphic, and suddenly
there’s a pop-up menu with the option of saving that graphic to disk. If you take this route,
however, be doubly sensitive to possible copyright infringement. It is quite easy to create a
site using existing graphics and only later discover the legal complications.
Another thing to be aware of is the following: If you’re creating a Web site for someone else,
don’t be surprised if part of your agreement letter specifies that you certify that all images
used on the site legally belong to the site owner. I’ve seen contracts that even included a
clause stating that if there were any questions about the legality of material on the site, the
problem was mine and that I’d have to pay any and all damages for any legal action that
might ensue
