Write an article based on this "List the artist's name. Provide the date the image was published. Include the title and format of the image. Give a direct link to the website where you found the image. Use the artist's last name and the year of publication for in-text citations."
An APA citation always begins with the last name of the author. In the case of an image, you need the last name and first initial (at least) of the person who designed or created the image you want to cite. In your full entry on your reference list, you'll include this person's last name first, followed by a comma, then their first and middle initials (if available). For example: "Dingle, L." Going to the main website may get you the person's name, or you may have to do a bit more digging. Always try to find the name of the person who created the image. If you are unable to determine the artist's name after a reasonable search, you can leave this information out and start with the title instead. After the artist's name, the year the image was created or published should appear in parentheses. This is another element that may be difficult to find when using an online image. For example: "Dingle, L. (2016)." If you can right-click on the image, it may give you additional information, including a date. The date also may be available in the text surrounding the image. If the creator of the image has given it a title, include that in regular type, capitalizing words as you would in a normal sentence. If the image is untitled, provide a brief description of the image in square brackets. For example: "Dingle, L. (2016). [Untitled photograph of Sydney Harbor]." If the image is titled, provide the title in regular type, capitalizing on the first word of the title and any proper nouns. For example: "Dingle, L. (2016). Sydney Opera House Vivid 2016." The point of your citation is to enable your readers to find the work you cited as easily as possible. Your link should point as closely as possible to the exact image you used. Try to find a permalink, since content can shift. Include the date you accessed the image. There is no period at the end of the URL that closes your citation. Dates are in month-day-year format with no abbreviations. For example: "Dingle, L. (2016). Sydney Opera House Vivid 2016. Retrieved October 12, 2017 from http://photography.rakuli.com/landscapes" When you mention the image in the text of your research paper, you typically must include a parenthetical citation that will direct readers back to the full citation in your reference list. Standard form is "last name, year." For example: "(Dingle, 2016)" If you were unable to find the artist's name, use whatever information comes first in your full citation. For titles, you can use a keyword just make sure it's a keyword that will take your readers to the correct citation.
