A Resource for Great and
Affordable Stock Photos & Clip-Art
My name is
John Holland and I've been a graphic artist and marketing consultant for
nearly a decade and in that time I've dealt with a cornucopia of stock
image providers-- Some bad, some good and some great. Below is a
compilation of fantastic resources to help you find only the cheapest
and best quality stock images available on the internet. I'm
providing this resource so you'll be able to avoid making the same
mistakes that I've made by paying too much money for stock photos and
clipart. I'm always adding new stock image resources to the site
so be sure to bookmark this page and check back often. I hope you find this resource helpful. Happy
designing!
STOCK PHOTO
RESOURCES
There are
hundreds of stock image sites online, but which websites will contain
the high quality image that you're looking for at a price you can
afford? We've compiled a list of websites below for you to choose
from. To purchase photos you'll need to create an account.
No worries, all but the last one is subscription based-- All of the
other ones are credit based, meaning you'll need to purchase credits to
buy the images. Note: The more you buy the cheaper the cost per
credit gets.
Dreamstime is a very affordable credit based stock image site that
you'll surely enjoy. It's a personal favorite of mine due to the
low cost of the credits and the superb quality of the images. I
refer my clients and friend to this site because I know that they'll
never be disappointed. Pre-buy your credits in larger numbers
and save!
Can Stock Photo
has some of the highest quality stock images I've seen on the internet
and to top it off-- They're very affordable.
Take a look for yourself by searching for a subject below!
Photos.com is a mind blowing resource
and a very affordable price. If you're a hardcore graphic designer
and need a subscription based service that you pay annually for and
download tons of images a day-- then Photos.com is THE resource for you!
CLIP ART
RESOURCES
Clipart
can be a very handy thing to have when you need that extra lit bit of
character to complete your website or presentation. Be careful not
to use clip art that you find online via search engine image searches.
In most cases those clipart images are copyright protected images and
using them can get you into serious trouble if caught. It's always
best to buy clip art images the same what that you buy stock photos.
This will insure that you won't run into any legal issues and the cost
for clip art is very low. Below are some resources for you to find
a variety of royalty free clipart images including 3D animations!
The Animation Factory, specializes in 3D
stock images that come animated for that extra eye catching zing that
you need to complete your project! Their annual subscriptions are
incredibly low and well worth the price for any animated clipart lover.
