Images make our post nice and not only nice, it makes it beautiful, without image in our creative writing, our work will look like bush, I don't know, if you ever take a look at your work, at that time you haven't insert an image yet, how it look like. Honestly, it doesn't look good at all, it is after the image(s) is uploaded that we see the beauty that comes out of the post.

The images alone tell the story, so as the text is important so are the images, when making a post, designing your own image is good, as well as using free images with source. Like me, eighty percent of my posts are made up of free images well stated with source.

I make use of this free images because, I have no design skills, but these days, I am trying to learn how to design images with my phone, because, I was wondering, how would my post always looks like, if I am using my own image in my post, and then I realized that, I should have learned the design years ago, but anytime someone starts something, it is still preferable, the important thing is our mind focus on what we have learned.

Inserting own images in a post is a safe banker, if you ask me, I go in this direction, because, when all the images in your post and texts are made by you, you do not source anyone in the post. By what we mean by source, that is giving credit, when talking about all the work, those you give credit to, are one of the contributors in the content.

So, reason how amazing it would be, if everything belonged to you, I know, the texts must be yours, but what about the images, if they were created by you, wouldn't that be good too, it would make a lot of sense, but still, I see no harm in using a free image with source, I mean, it is allowed on the blockchain, as long as you have properly stated where the images came from, like the sourcing of the creator.


One thing is to keep in mind, assuming you have seen a free Image(s) that fits so well in your post, you can still edit it and used, it is still preferable, but when you do this, you should endeavour to state where the image came from and what tools you used to edit it, at the end point of your post, if it is better for you, you can still place it underneath the image.





Taking our own pictures can also be a good way to make a post with our own image, but the thing about photography is that, not all the pictures you take can go with your content, so there is still need to learn image design on your own, so that to make images in any way that best suits your work.


I have said all these things because when talking about originality, images are also considered, no one will tell you something like this, but sometimes, we use our tongue to count our teeth, however, it does not mean that users are not allowed to use images that are free, as long as the image is free, you can use it, but it shows that, there is a missing part to complete the originality.

No knowledge or learning is a loss, so it would not be a loss to learn image design, whether on hive or not, one thing is certain, in the future, it will help a lot in changing your life, consider having your post always compose with own images, your work will look unique and that's about life, uniqueness matters a lot.


And not only that, so many comapny are looking for graphic designer, so as you are making your blog beautiful with your own style of images, you are still standing a chance to earn your self, a job in future with your skill.

I'm giving these tips, because some of the things that I said, are things that somehow draw me back in the online platform, so I wouldn't want newbies on hive, or anyone who is new to the online space, to go through the same thing that I went through, let there be a difference.
And once you go on with the little knowledge I share, I see you smiling.


Thank you for reading my post. In this post, I am trying to point out, why it is so important to design own images in post that we compost on hive, because it brings originality.
