SCALE AND PLACEMENT OF ELEMENTS

There are many ways to organize elements of composition in the working space of an image. The difference between vector and raster is that vector images can be altered at any moment and the composition can be supplemented with new elements or excess elements can be removed. However, incorrect decisions regarding composition and scaling of elements can render all our efforts futile.
In the first illustration, all elements are tied to the vertical and horizontal sides of each other.

Any microstock contributor has surely received rejections of this kind: “We are very sorry, but this file is not suitable for our photo bank. Due to the rapid growth of our collection, we pay attention to each submission, but unfortunately, we cannot accept all.”

In November last year, the administration of the photo bank Dreamstime conducted an analysis of the search queries used by buyers trying to find the images they need on Dreamstime. Moreover, the queries selected were quite frequent and popular at the moment, but did not yield the desired results for Dreamstime buyers.

From time to time, rather intriguing articles appear on various stock photo sites that, with the right approach, can help increase sales volume and boost your earnings on stock photo sites. If you are proficient in English, you can easily browse through a wealth of helpful articles available on microstocks. But if not, feel free to visit my blog and read articles about stock photo sites in translation.

For those who are just starting their work on the photo bank Dreamstime, I remind you that Dreamstime has introduced a strict regulation on the use of the keyword “vector” when describing works.
