Wow!! I just found my new “go to” site for stock photos!!

The photo I chose is: http://www.pixmac.com/picture/businessman-jumping/000000152011. The way this relates to design is that I’m actually looking for a photo exactly like this to play with for my portfolio!!

The site was really easy to navigate, and there are TONS of excellent photos on there!! Very impressed!! Will definitely go there for my stock photo needs!!

Great contest too! :)

I like this one because it represents the fuel that us web designers and developers function on: coffee. You can find it on a lot of portfolios; the “signature” coffee cup illustration on the desk.

The Picmac site was easy to use; the search- quick and responsive. I like their pricing system as well.

I want the picture:
http://www.pixmac.com/picture/bucket-of-shrimp-kebabs/000018019673

It is for a menu design work of one client. I cannot find suitable image in iStock, but I saw more choices here. And also the price is cheaper as well. Great!

And the reason why I chose this photo is:
1st, consistent with the dish
2nd, the colour is good
3rd, it is real and vivid.

Thanks!
Hope I can have the credits:)

Hello there,
Here is my picture:
http://www.pixmac.com/picture/bird/000012029497

I chose this because I’m looking for high quality blackbird pictures to design a vector illustration out of it for my personal logo.
Regarding my experience on the website, well it is easy to navigate and has a powerful search. Yet, it’s missing a “Browse” function. Because, not everybody knows exactly what they’re looking for. So, such a function would be very useful for them.

Thanks.

I think it reminds us that good design is not a one size fits all proposition. It needs to be thought of in context – What are you trying to communicate and to whom.

I have really enjoyed pixmac I have done several searches that returned new images (not found on other stock photo sites).

For some reason this makes me think of design because I think of modern design. This makes me think about how we emphasize color psychology, color theory, and color therapy. All three that I am trying to study. It makes me think about how far we’ve come from old, brick designs.

Here is the photo… http://www.pixmac.com/picture/concrete-alley/000003385151

why does it show development… well, it is the girded iron frame and backbone that holds together beauty that the final visitor will see. Rarely is the foundation (code) seen, but just as in life, beauty is one thing… but we all want a solid foundation under our artwork, homes, financial portfolios… foundation is key.

As far as the site… I have not ever used it… Perhaps that will all change after I win. That is, if… I win. Blessings.

Colour is a huge part of design and this image shows that well.

The PixMac website was a pleasure to navigate, I loved the slide up favourites box.

It would be a nice pic, that could go nice on a web design portfolio; “Bring the world closer”.

It’s my fist time using pixmac website and they seem to have a comprehensive database of pictures, nice.

I picked this picture to represent web development: http://www.pixmac.com/picture/internet-concept-3d-abstract-tunnel/000012184571
I chose this one because web development is kind of like a digital wormhole that you can get sucked into. :)
This was my first visit to pixmac and I was impressed. I will be visiting this site to find more pictures for my projects!

I chose this image: http://www.pixmac.com/picture/old-wall-and-windows-bricks/000012020449

Because it represents the process of combining multiple disciplines to create something aesthetically pleasing. You have the original architect, builder, and materials designers all put work into creating something that is now unified and beautiful.

I think the site is great. My one wish is that the “similar pictures” thumbnails were a bit larger. They’re too small for me to really see what’s going on in the image, so I have to hover over them to see the big thumbnail. However that takes a second to load so I end up spending a long time mousing over every image.

Every artist and designer had to start somewhere, and more often than not, our love of creative expression first blossomed when we had a crayon in our hand.

This was my first visit to Pixmac. It was a little slow to load, the thumbnail popups are too easy to trigger, and certain pages are a bit crowded – but overall it seems to be a good site.

I think developing is just like puzzle. We have the whole picture in our heads, and have to put the pieces together.

I just found this site, and like it. It’s fast, and clean.

I think designs come from those special moments when you suddenly have this sound that clicks on your mind every time you have a new idea. A light bulb that suddenly lights is a perfect way to represent just that.

My pick:
http://www.pixmac.com/picture/decorative-seamless-floral-ornament/000030679255

I picked this as a starting point of a design – a potential texture or background to be used as part of a design to enhance the background or another element of a site.

I’ve used Pixmac in the past for a travel tour website that I did for a client of mine who needed specific photos from the town he was giving tours about located in Mexico. Easy to use, good selection of photos and reasonable price.
