You know that on the course they give us a link for the image. How can we make or own and avoid to do copywrite?

Preparing images for the web is a whole area in itself but I can share some tips:
-
For free software to create your own images - I like GIMP (It’s a free counter to Adobe Photoshop)
-
If you just want to find images that will not run into Copyright infringement, I like to use pixabay.com but also using Creative Commons Search (now openverse) can help you with finding images you can use
-
Finally, you will need somewhere to host the images, like server space (You could make a small website on GitHub in the future) so when working on the website locally, you will be able to see your links, but there is a bit more to it as far as absolute versus relative links (which is a web topic for down the road)
Hopefully that gives some food for thought

okey, thank you very much!!! 
In the last cohort we had a discussion on this topic: How to link the image used for tribute page on my desktop
I think the discussion page kept going from the last cohort so you should all be able to read those too?
I hosted images on github, which took a bit to figure out. For my projects, I sourced free images from unsplash, and attributed the artists/photographers in my footer section. At first, I used the cat photo as a placeholder and worried about getting the code right, and later got all my images working. Hope that helps!
