Good stock imagery resources, anyone?

Hi, Ryon.

My favorite one is iStockPhoto, with a very large choice of photos,
vector art, animations and even videos. One of the best cost /
benefit ratios I've found.

Have a look at http://www.istockphoto.com

All the best,
Ricardo

Hi Ryon;

I've used gettyimages.com quite extensively. I know they offer corporate
package pricing, which was quite helpful in downloading a bunch of images
without watermarks, for comping purposes. Good luck!

I have made good use of stock.xchng (sxc.hu).

I haven't purchased anything from them, however they have a pretty
nice selection of free stock photos.

On the Creative Commons side of things, Compfight is a useful resource
for trawling Flickr: http://www.compfight.com

Stock Xchng is another: http://www.sxc.hu/ very much along the lines
of istockphoto.com

Obviously Getty too: http://www.gettyimages.com/

Very specific one on travel brochure Graphic Design from the 1920s and
30s: http://www.travelbrochuregraphics.com/

Australian specific one: http://www.pictureaustralia.org/

One for visual arts: http://www.vads.ac.uk/

These are mostly more arts based, but there is a big list here too: http://www.vraweb.org/resources/diag/digreslist.html

Best,

Andy
