Let's say you're making a flyer for your business, or need to write a bunch of articles that include pictures. Maybe you have a presentation due at school and need some images for your PowerPoint. We turn to the power of the mighty internet when those needs arise and Shutterstock has millions of royalty-free images, music and video for whatever you might need.
Billing themselves as "a global marketplace for imagery", Shutterstock is your one-stop shop for everything you could possibly want and need. Founded in 2003 and based in the Big Apple, this media giant currently supports over 40 million images in an unimaginable number of categories. Pay as you go or subscribe per month of year and get access to up to 25 images every single day. That's way better than pulling a picture from Google and risking third-party intervention!
Check out their super cool sticker for a great idea of the fun Shutterstock promotes. When you browse the website it's like having your own personal robot fetch images from their extensive collection and deliver them right to your hands, so this sticker is right on the spot. Colorful, bright and eye-catching sums up not only the kitschy sticker fun but the company itself.
Here's an awesome video from their YouTube channel called "Around the World in 80 Clips" but you need to be warned: it's pretty darned cool! Watch it to get an idea of what they offer, then click here to get started on your very own sticker adventure.
