So, how needs your often nonprofessional works?
Firstly, designers of different levels are quite active buyers. Famous magazines and different companies buy images for some business aims. Many Internet portals purchase on microstocks’ space. Images are also bought buy usual users for their articles, diploma works, news blocks etc. Because it is much more convenient to find necessary illustration on microstock than overcome 500 km to make a photo of necessary building. Or, what is much worse, to hire a photographer for making of this photo.
Publishers regularly need new, interesting versatile material for their articles. And microstocks can offer thousands of novelties, which are available 24 hours a day, without weekends and holidays, from authors of all over the world. And it costs almost nothing. Demand for illustrations is constantly growing. Except novelties there is an archive of millions of works, including works of high-quality, you see captious controllers look at level of works, loaded by authors. More than that singularity and universality of illustration are valuable. Well, to make somebody to buy your work you must be up to standard of quality, or maybe little higher. For that, except skills, you must have a good imagination and eccentricity. So because of that it is not so simple to guess what will be hardly-bought and what will get to the top-100. The new term has just appeared – “stock” photo, illustration. It is something which stocks need, which will be easy-sold. As more such works you will have in your portfolio, as better will be your budget.
