First let me say I’m not affiliated with iStockphoto in anyway. I just simply love the website, its chalked will of high quality photos at different resolutions from 1 to 5 dollars! The website is easy to navigate and you can create light boxes which allow you to stay organized as you put together collections of images you might want.
I use images from iStockphoto to spruce up my website designs. It’s really amazing how you can work in some images that really bring your site to life. I’ve used the images in three ways; I’ll classify them as follows: Iconic, Blended and Boxed.
Iconic – On OrangePics I’ve used a number of images isolated on white as sort of large icons helping to convey what a page is all about. For example a set of keys represents a login screen or a life buoy represents a help page. Lots of websites already have a white background and it’s really easy to add these isolated on white images to your site.
Blended – On Red Sky IT Solutions and Procellous Consulting I created some visually appealing website headers by blending in two pictures. This was a bit more work but the finished product was really rewarding.
Boxed – Sometimes just taking a bright and colorful image and boxing it in some corner of your layout can drastically make a difference. Of course you want to use relevant subject matter and in most cases this is easy to find on iStockphoto. Have a look at the bright and colorful images on the left of this OrangePics page contrasting with the orange. Reload the page a few times and watch the images change. Also another good example is the header of a new website we’re starting called Family and Health. I’ve taken a fairly plain template and brought it to life too.
Usually the images I download from iStockphoto require some manipulation at least resizing them; most image software will do this for you. In the cases of blending the images you’ll need something that lets you work with layers like Photoshop or the open source program that is really growing on me, Gimp.
