APA Style does not cover rules specific to the use of images for decorative purposes. Instead, rules are designed for images, illustrations, and graphs that directly relate to the content of the piece of writing. Therefore, as much as possible, limit your use of images for decorative purposes. Where images are needed, apply the APA Style guidelines provided for Figures.
To find suitable images for your assignments, go to: Finding Images
