What this means is:

You may not:

  • You may not redistribute original source files from ScrabooliTextures.com in any way (for sale or for free) – not by email, CD, in a printed form,  from your own server, or on a stock site or in any way at all – if you would like to share them with others – please share the link to the relevant post on this site instead.
  • You may not repackage the files in anyway and claim them as your own, or sell them as your own (this includes vectorizing images, printing or publishing them in a book)…. Unless, as described below, they are significantly changed enough as to be unrecognizable.

You may:

  • Quote A brief excerpt of content on your blog, as long as a link is provided back to the source page on this blog – that means: feel free to use extracts or screenshots to illustrate your own blog article so long as you reference me and link back to the relevant post on ScrabooliTexture.com ….. copy/pasting the whole blog post is a no-no.
  • If you change an image enough you can call them your own – and that does not mean changing the colors or shuffling the parts around a bit, it means changing it so it is unrecognizable as the original.
  • You may freely use and change them for personal work and (non-commercial, non-saleable) projects, art work, scrapbook pages etc.
  • You may use them as elements within a finished (commercial) projects – websites, posters, packaging, cards, reports, magazine illustration, business cards, software user interfaces, branding… etc. … basically graphic design. – That is, so long as the file is an element of the overall design (your design) and not the whole or larger part of the design, then you may use it in commercial projects. In other words I am only giving away tools and ideas – not doing your job for you!!  or to put it another way; my images can be a part of your software/project/advertising design/web design/etc.., so long as you aren’t selling the images themselves or using them as the ‘main’ image on a salable product.

Attribution:

  • If the texture is an obvious element of you design then please do the right thing and quote me as the originator of that element or a contributor to the project and include link to ScrabooliTextures.com
  • Obviously, in some cases (advertising designs for example) it is not practical to do this, in which case that is fine. Please find some other way of linking back to this site (for example, place a link on the links and resources page of your studio homesite).
  • http://www.flickr.com/groups/scraboolitextures/ is somewhere were we can all share what we have create.

If in doubt…..

Please ask.

a lot of problems later on.
