Visual media
Visual materials include images, photographs, videos, films, paintings, and more. Such materials may act as sources of inspiration for your own work, help you understand theoretical models, or even increase the strength of your arguments, when properly used in a paper. Finding high-quality visuals that are not subject to copyright laws may be difficult, especially when using Google. This is why it is better to search for them in library resources or specialized online collections from institutions, such as the ones listed below.
