Baby Shower Clip Art Free
Baby Shower Clip Art Free
Invitation Company – need images, can’t draw – options?
What are my options?
I design invitations, kids birthdays, baby/bridal showers,etc. However, I have never sold anything – I do them for friends. I would like to start a business, but I can’t draw. I see amazing clip art photos of pregnant women and ladybugs, etc…..but I can’t use them to sell commercially.
I saw a really nice image on a stock photo site but it would cost me nearly $200 for one image. It looks like they created the image in Corel Draw 13, 11 and 10 (whatever that means)
Can I learn to create my own images in Corel Draw – without knowing how to draw?
What other sites have royalty-free clip art that can be used commercially?
Do I have other options?
Any (REAL/SERIOUS) advice is greatly appreciated.
Do some research on public domain photos and clip art. There may be some things there you can use, there are a few people on zazzle and cafepress making pretty good money off public domain art. But make sure you understand what is truly public domain. A lot of art that claims to be isn’t.
Some stock services sell print licenses for less than $200. I have seen them around $50 for some images. If you are really starting a business, than $50 for a good image should be tolerable. Keep in mind that this cost is deductible also.
Most professional designers use Photoshop and Illustrator, not corel draw. My opinion is that it takes years to master those programs and learning to create good art is a challenging skill that a lot of people will never master. Buying and reselling someone else’s work for $50 is comparatively cheap & efficient.
