Where do you get clean resources?

[sebi]

I have been designing a couple of simple magazines and brochures for my church in the late years. Every time i do this, i have to search for some relevant graphics - photos, digital art, images with transparent backgrounds, etc. Usually, i google for them. But i realize one thing... Although i search for graphics that could be placed in a church related magazine, and i use google's image filters, i get various result - some containing nudity, sexuality, violence and so on. And although i do this work for my church, in a way trying to worship God, after spending tens of minutes searching for the best image to express something that words can not, i have the felling that after being in contact with this kind of content I'm far from worshiping God. These images affect ourselves even though it's not our specific purpose to check them out.

My question is... Where do you get clean resources for this kind of work? Can you share any online repositories? Oh... and they should be free

Perhaps our administrator Chad, who owns a web hosting business, would have some ideas. Send him a P.M.

Hi Sebi,

These below are paid, not free (trust GOD to provide you funds for the work you are doing for His kingdom). These are not Christians, just royalty free photos (quality, professional for web and print). They also have filters and do not contain nude thrash (although I have never searched for such purposely, I have never come across something outside the keywords I search by).
