Critical Image Analysis: sourcing, image quality, and print/web resolution

Critical Image Analysis: sourcing, image quality, and print/web resolution Online

In this 30-minute workshop, learn strategies to critically examine images online and locate high-quality images for your research. This session is great for anyone looking for high-resolution, color-accurate images online for research papers or presentations.

Attendees will learn how to: 

  1. Identify which online images are actually good enough for your projects by checking things like resolution, color, and where they came from.

  2. Find high-res images using smarter search strategies 

  3. Practice looking at images with a critical eye so you can select the ones that make your argument clearer and more convincing.

Audience: All members of the Yale community are welcome to attend.
