Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.

Decision and scope

Keep the source and verified conditions for every visual asset used in the project. Record the file, supplier, acquisition date, evidence and permitted uses under the actual license. Treat an image appearing in a demonstration as a resource requiring review rather than proof that it may be published in another project.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: a photograph from an initial design is replaced with material whose permission is documented. The inventory links the page using it to the relevant evidence. The chosen font receives its own review for the intended website use rather than inheriting assumptions made about the photograph.

Acceptance check

Before publication, compare actual assets with the inventory and flag unresolved conditions. Avoid describing unknown licenses as unlimited. Accept the register when every visible asset has locatable evidence and the accountable owner has resolved any uncertainty.

Key takeaways

  • Accept the register when every visible asset has locatable evidence and the accountable owner has resolved any uncertainty.
