I am currently doing a project and would like to utilize out side sources to gain my audiences attention.
However, my outside sources revolve around knowledge which I obtained through a book.
To be more specific I am designing a childrens menu for a restuarent- school project.
My theme makes appropriate the introduction of including astronomy.
What I would like to do is include the knowledge I obtained when reading this book on the menu as a way to intrique the viewer.
I would not be directly copying information and illustrations.
Only using the information rpesent to form my own.
However, even though I am creating my own illustrations and paraphrasing information would I still need to include due credit since, I obtained the information out of a book origionally or is this unnesseccary unless I directly copy information- in which case I would also need permission from the auther and illsutrator- I assume.
The reason I bring this question to mind is that the information is found out of a book and generally it would be appropriate to include credit to the those the information was derived from evn when paraphrasing- theretically in a paper.
So is it nessecarry to include some type of credit to the auther of were I found the origional information and gained the knowledge about what it is I want to include through paraphrasing in the design?
By the way- the information included is going to be factual- not an opinion.
