Every bit of work I've ever shown or displayed even recommended was as the graphic i made only. I would screenshot then crop.
I never personally liked the browser frame approach, I prefer to show things at 100% so if i'm displaying web, the frame gets in the way, if I'm displaying mobile, the size is obvious in the rendering seen online and most noted if the image alone is viewed on said mobile device
to accomplish your goal provide a screen shot of the view port of each of your projects so whatever device they use, it will be obvious as to which image is for their device
furthermore along that same line, you could serve up only the correct images to selected devices by targeting them via server scripts
that said, think of the inception you're talking about... showing computers on computers, ipads on ipads, iphones on iphones, it's ridiculous,
Just show the work at 100% scale and figure out how you want to show a particular image to a selected device or just provide all options as I mentioned before
- Eh... this doesn't sound like an attractive solution to me.gramme
- Inception? It's just context, man. And my website is for potential clients, not fellow designers. They need clarity.gramme
- I do appreciate the straightforward answer, though.gramme
- i'd rather the work speak for itself, the client sees their work as it's developed, that is the end goal afteralldummies
- you're creating something equivalent to shit photos in nice frames, hackish at bestdummies

Hate all these portfolios that utilize the apple product images in their mockups. Says to me that you're just trying to impress me with Apple's design work because your work sucks. Using it once is okay. But these people end up using their images throughout their entire portfolios. Only stupid people fall for this type of presentations

omg – I'm sure a lot of people skin their work onto Apple products to conceal the fact that their portfolio is garbage. But I've seen hundreds, maybe a few thousand cases where this isn't true. Heydays' work doesn't suck, just as one for instance.
http://heydays.no/2011/lkhjelle/…People try to show their print work against attractive, unobtrusive backgrounds. Why not aspire to do the same for web/app work?
- sorry gramme, i'm finding it very hard to believe that the work does not suck. all i see is a computer monitoromg
- Really? Well, can't make everyone happy...gramme
- The photography and style outweighs all the products on that site. in comparison makes all others suckomg
- the work would be better if not for the apple's style pasted to the front, only to contrast heydays work
omg

Can't you just put on the footer of your page "ipad and mac photos are Courtesy of Apple “???
"The Image is provided by Apple on an ‘as is’ basis, without warranty of any kind, including non-infringement or ownership. You, not Apple, are responsible for your use of the Image. Any misuse of the Image or breach of this Agreement will cause Apple irreparable harm. Apple is either an owner or licensee of the image, not an agent for the owner. We understand that you will give our company a credit line as follows: “Courtesy of Apple “ and also credit the photographer if noted. "

I saw that Mishga, but paused over this part:
"you may use the Image solely in whole for editorial use by press and/or industry analysts. The Image cannot be used to promote or sell any product or technology (such as on advertising, brochures, book-covers, stock photos, t-shirts, or other promotional merchandise). You may not alter, or modify the Image, in whole or in part, for any reason."
As designers we're not selling tangible products per se, but neither are we members of the press. Thoughts?
- yep, you're still not allowed to use it on your site.dummies

no and no.
"The Image cannot be used to promote or sell"

JUST USE THE FUCKING IMAGES FROM APPLE'S SITE FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Christ. You sound like a fucking idiot even questioning any of this. Like you think the ghost of Steve Jobs is gonna track you down and sue your nonexistent ass.
- gramme0
I'm not worried about the ghost of Steve Jobs coming after my nonexistent ass. This isn't about whether I'd get caught. I believe in doing things on the up and up, regardless of who's watching. I'm under no illusion as to how miniscule I am.
Geez. Asked for some simple help and this thread went bananas.
- MarleyMarl0
You were given help. The answer is that if you're holier than thou religious morals won't allow you to use Apple's images then there is no way around it. Logo or not, the design of hardware is copyright.
- but not your own personal photos of it... otherwise every photo of a car or fridge would be a problem.Amicus

Acting like an asshole is never helpful to anyone. Several people were helpful in this thread, but I could've done without most of the posts.
Where in this thread or any other have I said or implied that I'm holier than you or anyone else? I'm no better than anyone here. Not by a long shot.
I must be missing something. Did I ever say something offensive to you or dummies? You guys both seem pretty bitter about something. I have a hunch you're both more civil in person.

These might be free from the trademark issues:
http://caicardenas.bigcartel.com…and this is a good example of how to do it without the images:

Gramme: I'd like to see this thread resolved and die just as much as the next guy, but I must ask you this: How did you go about this 'issue' when you decided to throw an Apple Cinema Display on your website?
