		<description>i do illustration for a living. as a designer - i&#039;d sink without the aid of clip-art. it&#039;s not even necessarily about budget. it&#039;s about time. i just did some stuff for a client that was being weird and shifty. i&#039;m glad i didn&#039;t spend hours drawing original work for them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;now that i did the first phase of the job, they have ended communication despite me delivering solid work in a timely matter things that their ad-agency couldn&#039;t do alone. these sorts of situations are also looked over in the clip art discussions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;anyone that thinks they&#039;re too good for clip art is just doing something different than i am. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i have a lot of pride and confidence in my illustration work. sometimes, there just isn&#039;t time. sometimes, you&#039;re delivering on a job that is outside your range of illustration, but you know you can still provide something completely on-target for your client without flinching with the use of your clip art supplies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;it&#039;s no different than any of my other resources. i draw like a designer. i figure out what i need and then put it into the appropriate context. without my background in design, i&#039;d fail.</description>

		<description>stock artworks are the way to go...&lt;br&gt;it saves up a lot of time, and also helps people who don&#039;t have the luxury to start things from scratch and also people who aren&#039;t good at drawings, i.e. me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but there&#039;re also some negatives that can come with stocks.&lt;br&gt;people who took them for granted.&lt;br&gt;it could limit their creativity,&lt;br&gt;and once in a while you can see some things that&#039;re similar to one another, that is IF they&#039;re using the same stock, for granted, without making any modifications on it or just do the design as it is. I for one saw some cases already, here. and that is one of the downsides of using stock artworks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;well, to sum it up, I&#039;m totally with using stocks, but one should never take things for granted, and use these amazing stocks along WITH their creativity as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and I want to thank all stock makers and providers wherever you are :D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;you&#039;ve done so much and helped sooo much saving us time and sometimes gave inspirations on my and other&#039;s designs :D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;cheers&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-a</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m not very good at drawing, I don&#039;t own a graphics tablet, a scanner, a basic printer and I&#039;m 16 so I live of pocket money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To me, stock vectors are a way for me to make things the way a composer might make music: I don&#039;t have to be able to play the instrument, just know how it will add to the scene I want to create. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I like to think it&#039;s my own work but I can understand why people might go &quot;oh&quot; when I tell them its stock vectors. I think if you have the ability to draw things equivalent or better than Go Media vectors, then there is little need to use them: maybe inspiration? But I don&#039;t see the harm in using it due to time restrictions.</description>

		<description>This subject made me go crazy when i first started designing!! I always ended up feeling like less of an artist when i used stock art, but then i realized if you utilize it in the right ways there&#039;s no reason to get your self down about it. I enjoy stock art to a certain extent. I own a sign shop/print shop and it&#039;s a speedy environment. I&#039;m the only graphic designer running the show as of now, I&#039;d love to take the time and make everything custom every time but it&#039;s just not possible. It can go so many different ways with this stuff. I see a lot of the shops here using the same clip art/vector art. So what happens when two different shops close by use the same vector art for a customer... then that customer passes the other shops customer on the road in their work vans and have the same logo/design. I see this happening a lot around here.. and that&#039;s the thing i don&#039;t like about it... but i guess if you know how to use it right that won&#039;t happen? Or what happens for the artist who&#039;s weakness is drawing and excels more in abstract art/painting? Most have no choice but to resort to some type of clip art. I must say i do enjoy the go media stock art. It&#039;s far from generic and there&#039;s so much of it! All in all i think if you use your mind and get creative with this stuff it works out fine. If your just taking a stock skull and some wings and slapping it on a shirt or what have you then maybe you should try being a professional bowler or some shit.</description>
