Can’t find the photo you need for that marketing piece? Need more images than Microsoft Office provides for Word and Publisher? Look no further than iStockphoto.

I’ve used iStockphoto for graphic elements for websites (those icons at the top of the page are from iStockphoto) and for photos and clip art for flyers, postcards and other marketing materials for OfficeMedic. It’s all royalty-free, which means you don’t have to pay for each use of the content. You can choose from over 1 million images from their library and, if you are a designer yourself, you can add your work to the library and get paid when a member uses it.

Membership is free and comes with some cool benefits, like the Free Image of the Week Screensaver (iStockphoto offers several free images for download each week) and a widget to search for images without a browser. Plus, members have access to a wide range of design articles and forums covering photography, design and more.

iStockphoto is a great resource if you design your own materials for work or school, or even if you just want to dress up your personal website.
