Graphics
 As someone once said,
"a picture is worth a thousand words," and this is definitely the case with the
landmines issue. Photographs, visual displays, cartoons and other artwork can be
used very effectively to communicate the horror caused by landmines and the hope
offered by efforts to clear mines and campaign for their eradication. Images
help to communicate your message and also reinforce the points you conveyed in
text. Luckily many of these images are available on the Internet or directly
through the artist!
A number of websites have graphics that you may be able to download and use.
In addition, the ICBL Image Library and Photo Gallery contain graphics that may
be useful for your projects. Remember to obtain the photographer's permission
before you use their graphics. Always credit the artist or photographer by the
photographer's name or the name of their organization in a corner on or next to
the graphic.
Always keep in mind why you are using graphics- what is your message? Are you
trying to convey the horror of landmines by showing graphic hospital photos? Are
you trying to show the positive work accomplished by using photos of campaign
events, mine clearance and victim assistance programs? Using positive photos is
often very helpful to make people realize that the landmines crisis is solvable
and people around the world are taking positive action to make a difference.
The ICBL Photo Gallery has links to several photographers and artist's
websites. Go to the ICBL Photo Gallery
The ICBL Image Library is a collection of campaign photos from events
throughout the world. Search for photos on a variety of topics including
"youth," which includes photos from youth led events around the world. Some
high-resolution images are available by contacting the Resource Center. Go to the ICBL Image
Library
