The other day when I needed some photos from iStock, I was shocked that their price went up quite substantial comparing in the past. Fair enough, business is business. However, they are also following monstertemplates business strategy as I see it. Selling logos for a cheap price, it only drops the quality of the future designs. I couldn't agree more, with any design, we need to seat with clients and hear their requirements and try to find the best solution to solve their business problem or better, to improve it. With this business model that iStock is going through, it is burning the professional designers. Shame but that's the truth and what's going on. Well, I couldn’t agree more.
