You can get free istock photo credits if you are a new or existing users by playing an istock hunting game on istock photo! It’s a fairly easy game to understand. The goal of the game is to find the istock photo logo embedded in a couple of photos that they present to you. It may sound like a simple task but the logo has been blended very well in all of the photos. Good luck 
If you are one of the people who have very specific tastes in music, there is a music where you can find good music easily! First of all, when you want to find new music that is similar to what you are listening to currently, you need the internet.
When you are using the internet to find new music, it takes a couple of seconds. The best method is to go on search engines and type in “__your favorite band’s name__” similar artists. With the similar artists keyword you will get links to sites with similar artists to your favorite band (which means you will most likely enjoy their music!). There are a couple of major artist sites that pop up such as similar music from last.fm and yahoo.
Color use is very important when it comes to designing anything from package designs to layout and logo designs. Here are a few things that you should keep in mind when selecting a color scheme for your design project:
- Does your colorscheme consist of 1 color and simply different shades of that color? If yes, you should try to incorporate another color into that colorscheme to avoid your layout from looking too monochromatic
- Do your colors clash? There are a lot of colors that do not work well together. This can come from the eye but if you cannot notice it you might want to look around for some inspirations of good colorschemes on the internet through website galleries.
A good colorscheme could really boost up the appeal of your design so it is well worth spending the time perfecting the colorscheme prior to designing anything.
If you are going to use stock photos in your designs you need to check the license of the photo/image that you are using!! There are some images that are under Creative Commons, but there are different types of CC licenses that will allow you to remix the piece, adapt the work into yours, use it for profit, etc.
If you are going to use it for personal uses only, then that is not a problem. When you are going to use any image or photo for commercial purposes or for public release, then you do need to look at the licenses carefully to avoid any potential legal problems.
What is a good place to get free wordpress themes for your website? The website called wpthemesfree.com is a really good one because they offer several quality wordpress theme designs almost daily. When they post up a theme, it is surely of high quality because they review each submission before posting it. On the site you can browse around through the most viewed themes to the most tested themes to even the top rated themes. All of the themes are also separated by different features (such as color, topic and structure) so you can easily find the ideal theme for your blog.
There are a lot of entrepreneurs and webmasters who are cheaping out on graphics designs by outsourcing them. This is one big mistake because most of the graphics designs that are outsourced look horrible. It is one thing to outsource coding (which I will not state my opinion about what I think about this) but with graphics design, it’s simply hard to get an amazing design for such little money.
Why do people think graphics designers charge too much? They use their creativity, skill and talents to produce a quality piece for you. You might think that the hours spent on a design might not take long at all (hence the outsourcing, getting a quick design done) but the whole creative process cannot always speed up. Investing well in nice graphics design is worth while as it will make your site or business much more appealing to your customers.
It is quite amazing to some people that there are kids (as young as 13) who have started online marketing. It might become quite a shock to people of the older generation but I would see it as somewhat of a norm. Why is it somewhat of the norm? It is because technology these days, especially with the internet is being exposed to younger children. You might remember not using the internet at the age of 8 because it was not available but nowadays children who are 8 can use the internet!
Back to the topic of online marketing kids: They probably figured it out while surfing the internet and stumbling across online marketing webmaster forums or they might have discovered it by accident and realized they can make money online. It may sound amazing but it doesn’t mean that they’re making that much money daily. Even $100 is a huge amount to them. It is hard to really know until you interview one of them.
Just a random thought for the day that might make you think how fast technology & the internet is expanding in our everyday lives.
