At Join The Mood, beautiful imagery is an important part of how we tell stories, share inspiration, and connect with our readers.
As a women’s lifestyle magazine covering fashion, beauty, home decor, relationships, entertainment, and career, we understand the value of photography, illustrations, and other creative work.
We respect the rights of photographers, designers, artists, and content creators. This policy explains how we approach image sourcing, attribution, licensing, and copyright concerns.
Our Approach to Visual Content
Join The Mood features images and visual materials to complement our editorial articles, tutorials, guides, and inspiration collections.
Depending on the article, our visuals may include original photography, licensed stock images, creator-submitted photographs, illustrations, or embedded social media content.
We aim to use visual materials responsibly and in accordance with applicable copyright laws and licensing requirements.
Licensed and Stock Images
Some of the images featured on Join The Mood may come from professional stock photography services, design platforms, or other licensed resources.
These materials are used in accordance with the applicable license terms, including restrictions on reproduction, distribution, and commercial use.
We may use stock photography to illustrate decorating ideas, fashion trends, beauty techniques, and other editorial subjects.
The appearance of an image on our website does not necessarily mean that Join The Mood owns the copyright to that image.
Canva Pro and Design Resources
Join The Mood may use Canva Pro and other professional design resources to create editorial graphics, visual layouts, and supporting illustrations.
These materials are used subject to the licensing terms of their respective providers.
We may combine appropriately licensed visual elements with original text and design work to create graphics for our articles and social media channels.
Individual design assets remain subject to the rights and restrictions established by their creators and licensing providers.
Social Media and Embedded Content
Our magazine may occasionally feature embedded content from platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and other social media services.
Embedded content helps us highlight creative ideas, showcase trends, and connect readers with original creators.
Where appropriate and technically available, we use official embedding tools and link to original sources.
Embedded content remains subject to the rights of its creator and the terms of the platform hosting it.
Embedding or linking to content does not necessarily mean that Join The Mood owns or endorses the material.
Creator Submissions and Permission-Based Content
We welcome opportunities to feature the work of photographers, designers, stylists, artists, and other creative professionals.
When creators submit photographs or other visual materials for editorial consideration, they should have the necessary rights to authorize their use.
Any specific permissions, licensing arrangements, publication conditions, or attribution requirements will be handled according to the agreement made with the contributor.
Submission of visual content does not guarantee that it will be published.
Image Attribution and Credits
We believe creators deserve appropriate recognition for their work.
When attribution is required by a license, permission agreement, or applicable law, we aim to provide it clearly and accurately.
Credits may appear in image captions, article text, accompanying source links, or other appropriate locations.
Please note that providing attribution does not, by itself, grant permission to reproduce copyrighted material.
Readers should not assume that images displayed on Join The Mood are available for unrestricted reuse.
Copyright Concerns and Removal Requests
We take intellectual property concerns seriously.
If you are a copyright holder or authorized representative and believe an image or other visual material has been used without appropriate permission, please contact our editorial credits team.
