sds Stock Photography (NAPSA)—A new survey by International Communications Research shows that creative professionals are adjusting to today’s tough economic climate, and one of the key ways they are cutting costs is to use more stock photography. “Increasingly, designers report taking on more concurrent projects while expanding their organizational and project management skills with greater awareness of the bottom line,” says Ami Brophy, CEO of The Art Directors Club. Stock art is a convenient, afford- able option for many nesses. The survey found that Shutter- stock, the world’s largest subscription-based, online stock image agency, ranked highly in many key areas. Approximately 60 percent rated it highly for quality and selection of images, and threefourths said they are likely to use the agency in the future. With this kind of service, everyone—from large corporations to small mom-and-pop nesses— can afford to create professionallooking marketing materials and Web sites. Plus, Shutterstock’s 7.4M-image library continues to grow, adding an average of 70,000 images per week. To learn more, visit www.shutterstock.com or call (866) 663-3954.
