Photos that you yourself did not take may NOT be used in your designs without the written consent of the person who did create the image. If you wish to use a non-authorized image in such a way you must SIGNIFICANTLY ALTER it. How much alteration "significantly" means is a judgment call... often made by a judge. Also, it is often a good design decision to simplify a photograph as part of your design. The filters for use in your raster-based programs (Sumo, Pixlr, Photoshop, etc.) can be very helpful. For assignment #14, you are also limited to three colors, including the shirt color. Consider the images below. The first is an unedited photo I found online. The second is the same photo run through a few filters and color adjustments. Even with the dramatic change in the appearance of the image, it would still be open to interpretation (hopefully not by a judge) as to whether or not I altered it enough to use it in my design legally.
