Love for mankind.

[ incredibly awesome GIVING CREDIT / STORM CLOUD poster created by erin loechner and pia bijkerk (with yvette's lovely handmade fonts!)-- view larger format here ] BUY yourself a print here.

Take a moment to read + appreciate this beautiful poster. Now nod your head in agreement. We couldn't have said it better. IT WAS AN uber AMAZING DAY when Design For Mankind's Erin Loechner sent LINKwithlove.org this message to share on her behalf:

The Internet is vast, vast, vast. And original sources are often impossible to find. I get that. As a blogger, I’ve come across dozens of images daily with no original source, almost as if they’ve appeared out of thin air. Yet someone, somewhere, took great pride in creating that image, and we need to celebrate that pride... as a community.

Thus, I’d encourage you to come up with your own protocol/photo technique and to link with love. Will you refuse to post all images without proper credit, period? Or will you come up with a SOS system of your own? Will you go as far as to boycott the use of social networking / bookmarking sites that don’t regulate original sourcing of images?

I’d love for everyone to receive the praise they so deserve in the best way possible.Let’s all hold ourselves to a higher standard, OK?

Oh, THANK YOU Erin. THANK YOU.

I absolutely agree with this poster! I've found a couple of my photographs and illustrations on the net and there was no credit given whatsoever. Hope that people will learn to give credit for other people's work.
