SPICE: Strategic Projects Insight Centre in Engineering, University of Alberta

Image credits

Visible provenance for every image.

Every photograph on this site is verified public domain or CC0. Everything else is either the centre’s own work or AI-generated for the centre and labelled as such. All three groups are set out below.

Group 1 · Photography

Public domain and CC0.

The links below preserve original provenance for internal and public audit. Each photograph is credited once, even where it ships at two sizes or as a gallery crop.

Group 2 · Generated imagery

AI-generated interpretive imagery

Ten sector scenes were generated for SPICE and for this visual identity: a pipeline corridor, hydroelectric dam, nuclear station, road interchange, LNG industrial site, port terminal, water infrastructure facility, transmission lines, healthcare campus, and mining site. They carry no third-party licence, because there is no outside photographer and no outside rights holder. SPICE commissioned them, holds them as its own material, and is fully accountable for them. They depict no specific project and are never used as documentary evidence.

REVIEW Nothing on record says which tool generated these ten images, with what prompts, or on what date. The University of Alberta's AI policy came up in the review meeting, so that provenance should be written down and published here before launch.

Group 3 · Original material

SPICE original material

Seven files are the centre’s own work and carry no third-party licence. The SPICE logo appears in the site header and footer, the same logo also ships as a vector and as a stacked version for print and slides, the SPICE emblem is the browser tab and touch icon, and the still atlas card is the fallback behind the national map as well as the default preview when a page is shared on social media. That last file is not a photograph but a composition carrying SPICE headline copy.

REVIEW The SPICE logo reached the site as a finished picture. Nothing on record says who drew it, whether any part of it was AI-generated, or whether naming the University of Alberta inside the lockup has been cleared against the university's visual identity guidelines. Settle that and write it down here before launch.
