Earlier this year I subscribed to Adobe Stock to be able to access millions of “stock” images. Most premium websites are built using stock images taken by professional photographers and graphic designers. It is this aspect that often gives them the edge. I pay £23 per month for this privilege.
I did anticipate I would use a lot of them following a couple of developments but that has not been the case. I am probably not going to continue my subscription next year, but while they are available I would prefer to ensure someone uses them to benefit their charitable activities.
If you want to brighten up your site with images like the ones above, do the following:
Go to here: https://stock.adobe.com/uk/
Have a browse around and locate something you are interested in. You can use keywords to help locate things of interest. Make a note of the reference number (this is important because there are so many of them, it starts with a # symbol in the bottom right corner) and then let me know and I will use my subscription to access it for you.
They are not free really
I am paying for them and providing them to your organisation for free under the license terms from Adobe because you are my client. The only difference is I am footing the bill. The images are high quality and suitable for print use and your website. They can only be used within your organisation and not for any other purpose. You are still bound by the Adobe licence. They may be used multiple times and because you are not having literally 10’s thousands of visitors to your site or printing thousands of publications you will remain within the terms of the agreement.
First Come First Served
I do not have an endless supply and I realise I may be inundated with requests. I will make a few available each month. So don’t be shy, let me know what you are interested in and I will take a look. Remember I need to know the reference number in order to locate it. Unlike a high street store, I cannot take them back if you do not want them, or gave me the wrong number!
