Hi, I’m trying to create a tutotial page like the onde in the Ionic 2 like the one in the preview application here:

> **[ionic-team/ionic-preview-app](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-preview-app/tree/master/src/pages/slides/basic)**
>
> The Ionic Component Demos. Contribute to ionic-team/ionic-preview-app development by creating an account on GitHub.

So, I just copy/paste the html code and the component code. The image source is binded to the ‘image’ property of the slide object like this:

```
   {
      title: "Welcome to the Docs!",
      description: "The <b>Ionic Component Documentation</b> showcases a number of useful components that are included out of the box with Ionic.",
      image: "assets/images/startup/test/test.png",
    },

```

I created a new side menu project from Visual Studio templates and added the Github code for the tutorial page. The only thing I changed from the source in git was the image path. And as you can see in the screenshot, the image exists in my project.

Am I missing something here?

This two links helped me out (more than the forum):

- [angular - How to insert image in ionic 2 - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36292000/how-to-insert-image-in-ionic-2)
- And the answer on this one explained the things much better: [ionic2 - Where do Images go in IONIC 2 - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35987213/where-do-images-go-in-ionic-2)

> As of Ionic 2 RC 0, the correct place to put your images is in `src/assets/img/` and the correct code to reference the image is `<img src="assets/img/myImg.png">`. Please see Ionic’s change log for RC0 (specifically #28).

The last one solved my issue.

If it doesn’t for you, try putting it directly on the `assets/img` directory, instead of a sub-directory.
