stock images

[schenker]

Where do you guys get your icons, graphics done for your app? Any good recommendation without so much of licensing complications? This is one issue that often makes me think twice abt purchasing stock images for fear of violating their license inadvertently.

Thanks.

I pay an artist, or use a site like iStockPhoto where you can buy the pictures.

I have emailed out several stock photography websites, and told them explicitly what I want to do with the images, and to let me know which extended licenses (if any) I would need for each case.

And then, of course, keep their email responses in case of any problems in the future!

If your app then takes off and you want to extend promo and things, you can go back and grab the full rights license etc
