that shows how buyers don't look at prices (EL for 10.39$)

or how hard is for buyers to find Solid Stock Art

Post by: Jo Ann Snover on February 12, 2014, 21:15: If you remember, one of their "things" was that designers just ignored ELs so make the standard license include them. I didn't buy the reasoning (and I'm not there) but that was something purposeful, not an accident...

We hope you are seeing and sharing in our growth. Also, by no means is this the best it is going to get. This is but a small taste of what is to come. We’d like to thank all of you for allowing us to distribute your amazing artwork!

We know not all of our artists are seeing the fruits of our combined labor so we’d like to share what is currently selling. As we bring on more customers we should see the sales be more diverse than they are now.

What is selling:

Beauty and health photos
Infographic illustrations
Dental related illustrations and photos
Medical related photos
Travel photos
Business conceptual based photos and illustrations
Retro and filtered photos and illustrations
Sport photos

What are customers requesting this month?

Golf photos involving children and seniors
Ballroom dancing with all age groups
Curling (that sport involving ice and a broom)

That is what was nice about istock. At least you got paid a few dollars for an illustration instead of 30 cents. That will be long gone now. People will be printing a thousands of t-shirts with designs they purchased for $1.00.
