Article | |
Portion used |
The entire poster: because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item. |
Replaceable? |
As film poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
Other information |
Use of the poster art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |

Film poster |
Low resolution? |
Image is at the usual sorry resolution. |
Purpose of use |
To support cited text explaining that the film-maker chose to use, and indeed highlight in its poster, a white actress despite the fact that Andromeda is princess of Aethiopia, a black region in classical times. The Clash of the Titans is directly discussed and reliably cited in the article, where the film poster makes a visual point vital to the article. The cited scholar states that the film can be criticised for casting a white actress (pictured) as the (black Aethiopian) Andromeda. This is important to the article, as Andromeda has a long tradition of being shown as white, and the film is the major modern case proving that the misrepresentation has continued, directly and viscerally, into Hollywood mythology. |
Replaceable? |
The image must be of this particular film, which is named in the article text; the poster is needed as it shows exactly what the film-maker wished to present, the historically-dubious practice of representing Andromeda as white. |
Other information |
This is the only image from the film, and the only non-free image, in this article. |

Licensing[edit]
