Image Credits & Sources Policy

At It Looks Good, visual presentation is an important part of the experience I want to create. This blog is built around fashion, beauty, style inspiration, and image-driven storytelling, so photographs, graphics, illustrations, mood visuals, collages, and other visual materials play a meaningful role across the site. Because of that, I want to be transparent about how I approach image sourcing, image use, image editing, and attribution. This page explains the general principles I follow when using visual content on it-looks-good.com.

I may use different types of images throughout the site depending on the purpose of the page, post, feature, or design element. These may include original visuals created for the blog, licensed images, publicly available promotional materials from brands, platform-provided assets, user-permitted submissions if accepted in the future, stock resources, and other materials used with permission or under terms that allow such use. In some cases, I may also use graphics, visual layouts, or edited image compositions prepared specifically to match the tone and style of the site. I want the final presentation to feel cohesive, feminine, polished, and visually clear.

Some images on this website may be original, while others may come from third-party sources. When I use third-party images, I aim to do so in a way that is lawful, respectful, and appropriate to the source and type of content involved. That may mean relying on licensing terms, brand media permissions, creator permissions, platform terms, stock subscriptions, embedded content rules, or other use rights that I reasonably believe apply. Even when an image is available online, I do not assume that means it is free for any use in any context. I want image use on this site to reflect reasonable care rather than careless copying.

At the same time, not every image on the site will necessarily include a visible credit line directly under the image itself. In some cases, attribution may be provided in context, in a source section, through a link, by license structure, through platform-based credit mechanisms, or in other forms depending on how the image is used and what the source requires. In other cases, the image may be original to the site or licensed in a way that does not require visible on-page attribution. The exact method can vary based on the source, the type of material, and the applicable permission or license terms.

I also want to be clear that some images on this site may be edited, enhanced, cropped, color-adjusted, retouched, composited, stylized, reformatted, or otherwise processed as part of the visual design of the blog. That includes the possibility that some images or visual materials may be prepared, refined, or modified with the help of artificial intelligence. In certain cases, visuals may be illustrative, conceptual, or mood-based rather than functioning as literal documentary records of a real-life scene or unchanged product view. I include this statement because visual honesty matters to me, and I would rather explain the role of editing openly than leave readers guessing.

In a fashion and beauty blog, visual consistency matters, but so does context. Some images may be used to convey a mood, a styling direction, a beauty concept, a color story, or a general inspiration rather than to document an exact personal experience or real-time event. A hairstyle inspiration image, a mood collage, or an editorial-style composition may be intended to help express an idea rather than serve as proof of a specific result. I want readers to understand that distinction, especially in a space where visual storytelling is part of how content is naturally communicated.

If I use product photos, campaign images, retailer-provided materials, or brand visuals, those materials may remain the property of their respective owners unless otherwise stated. Their appearance on this site does not transfer ownership to me, and I do not claim ownership over third-party brand or media assets simply because they appear in connection with a blog post or feature. Brand names, product images, trademarks, and related materials belong to their respective owners where applicable. Their use on the site may be for commentary, inspiration, editorial reference, illustration, promotion, or similar lawful purposes depending on the context.

If I receive a valid concern about an image, source, attribution issue, ownership question, or permission-related problem, I am willing to review it in good faith. Mistakes can happen, especially on visual websites that evolve over time, and I would rather address a legitimate issue respectfully than ignore it. If you believe an image used on this site should be credited differently, removed, clarified, or reviewed for rights concerns, please contact me with as much specific information as possible. That includes the page URL, the image in question, the basis for the concern, and any relevant supporting details.

Please note that I cannot guarantee that every image on the site will remain permanently available, unchanged, or displayed in the same format over time. I may update, replace, edit, relocate, resize, reframe, caption differently, or remove visuals as the site grows, as articles are revised, or as licensing, design, or editorial needs change. I also reserve the right to decline the use of submitted or requested visuals that do not fit the tone, rights requirements, or technical needs of the website. Maintaining a consistent visual identity is important to me, and image choices are part of that process.

I also ask visitors, readers, and third parties to respect the visual materials used on this site. Unless clearly stated otherwise, you should not assume that images, edited graphics, collages, branded visuals, or original design elements from It Looks Good are free to copy, republish, scrape, repost, or reuse in full without permission. That applies especially to custom layouts, edited site graphics, original visual combinations, and branded presentation elements created for the blog. If you want to reference something from the site, please do so respectfully and request permission when needed.

Because the website may include original visual design work alongside third-party materials used under permission or license, broad unauthorized copying can create confusion for readers and unfairness for creators. I want this policy to protect both the creative identity of the blog and the rights of others whose materials may appear here in limited and appropriate ways. Respect for visual work matters to me whether the material is mine or someone else’s. That principle guides how I want the site to operate.
