Content – Images

In the real world you cannot search Google and use any images you like. You need to be aware of copyright laws and how that applies to business. The options for business are:

• Create your own,
• Ask permission from the owner (this may involve a fee), or
• Buy an image from online stores such as Shutterstock.

For this assignment try and use items that are free for personal and educational purposes like:

Remember you cannot choose a name that is already used by another business. Use this link to check to see if your name is available.

Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)

When designing your logo it is important that it is original and cannot be confused with another company in the same industry. This is part of the law that deals with trademarks.

“The purpose of a trademark is to protect your business’s brand identity in the marketplace. To use another shoe company as an example, the Adidas trademark of three white stripes lets people know that the shoes they’re about to buy were designed and made by the Adidas company. If a company begins selling shoes with two white stripes, people could easily think those shoes also are Adidas shoes. Not only does Adidas lose money from the lost sale, but they also lose consumer confidence, if the similar looking shoes are inferior in quality” (Jenkins, 2016).

Read the following article for more information about trademarks including logos:

When creating your website, the same rules for images apply. Make sure you are using Creative Commons images and make sure you include a credits page to give credit to the people who supplied your images and any other material.

When writing your presentation make sure you only put the key points on your slides and not whole sentences as recommended in the Death by PowerPoint video.

Your bibliography should be in APA format. Use our referencing guide to help you.
