I was long waiting for this post.
The post to announce a brand new gallery at
lensdepictions.com! Here I open a new line of stock images on the website, and
that is,
Royalty Free Stock
illustrations/Clip-art
For a creative professional each of his/her works is
important, but this one is very special for me indeed. Partly because it is a
creative extension for me and partly because it expands the product base of
lensdepictions.com, making it all the more versatile as a stock images website.
Starting with story books with big fonts and cute cartoon
illustrations as a kid, to the sketches in science journals as a student, to
this amusing illustration of a cow on the yogurt packaging that I bought
yesterday… personally, I have always drawn to pictures, drawings,
diagrams, basically all type of illustrations or “graphical depictions of
subjects” in other words.
These days we see them almost everywhere, in all types of consumer
spaces – Websites, blogs, web and mobile applications, games, product
packaging, books, brochures, annual reports, greetings, banners, posters…The
list is limited only by one’s imagination.
In my opinion, stock illustrations and vector-art rule the
marketing and publication space almost as strongly as stock photographs. In my
observation these are the strategic reasons:
- Stock
illustrations often convey character and personality, sometimes even more
than an average quality stock photograph; however this is mostly true for
custom made designs.
- Many
people fear that illustrations appear childish, but actually, it can
actually look creative, stylish and absolutely professional when used in a
correct way.
- The
style and color combinations used in a given piece of illustration can
help people make associations and connect with your brand in a unique way.
- Clip-art
can inject humor in designs.
- There
are certain situations where the message to be conveyed is so generic,
that it is not suitable to use a photograph, in those situations
illustrations can work wonders.
As of now, lensdepictions’ Stock Illustration collection has
just started to build up and thus the range of illustrations offered is quite
humble. But, if you are a designer, I would like you to know that the current
stock is aimed at being especially useful for you. The reasons are:
- All Illustrations
are vectors, useful as independent elements in designs.
- These
“design element” type of illustrations are all isolated on white
background.
- Lensdepictions
provides you the PNG versions – making your life easier as you can move it
from one design background to another, without any worry.
- Lensdepictions
also provides you the EPS versions – giving you total freedom to modify
them and scale them to any size without any loss of resolution.
- There
are no subscription plans or any
restrictions
of minimum purchase,
you can buy
only what you need and when you need!
And finally, don’t forget to check out the brand new gallery!
