Where to get free stock images?

    Hello, I'm starting as desginer, that means I dont have the money to buy a good membership on a stock image site, I'm doing small jobs, but I need some images that won't have copyright issues.

    I'm looking for a good stock image site.

    Please and thanks.

    I use Stock.XCHNG (you'll have to google it becuase I can't post links yet!)

    Also consider taking your own photos

    my favorites are: sxc.hu, morguefile.com and photl.com free to use in commercial and personal projects. canstockphoto.com is a very affordable pay site,around $5 per photo. hth

    morguefile.com is my favorite also. Try searching on Google for "royalty free stock images" and you should get some good results.

    Just to add, I would keep a list of good free stock vector sites as well (they come in handy as a graphic designer ;) )

    www.vecteezy.com (best one I've found so far)
    www.smashingmagazine.com (you can find freebies in their posts - keep an eye on this site, they're always releasing freebies!)
