FOR FREE – Royalty Free – etc.

We all like to get everything FOR FREE, but! Is everything actually free of charge? That is the question! This is another entry for the ones that enjoy useful links to bookmark.

I often look for photographs for my clients, for myself, etc. Very often I create graphics or vectors also by myself, but sometimes I do buy them, because I have no other choice, and it usually means a significant expense. We all know what it means to have to purchase graphics or vectors, and when we end up having to spend additional cash for an extended licence, the client may end up very grumpy. I collected some cool materials for you to check out.
