Abstract

Student graphic designers want fast, easy and cheap access to high-resolution images. As well as using the image-rich art books in their libraries, these students can now use stock photography: those images of cute children, attractive couples, active seniors, funky pets, and preternaturally fresh fruit, plants and flowers that are used to communicate, influence, and sell something, somewhere, to someone.
