Some talented artists will give a non-profit organization the right to use their photographs, pictures, movies, animated gifs, textures or backgrounds, with the condition of indicating their copyright. They may even be very happy to participate in so great a project as a teaching picture book. What could be done: * spot the pertaining material on the web and contact the authors. * send an announce in graphists' newsgroups. The animated gifs would be perfect at illustrating movement words such as jump, run, get up, shift, soar, crash, etc... * Lionel Bonnetier * lionelb@asi.fr * Tel: 33 / (0) 478 601 862 *
