what kind of illustrations?
As you can see, we show the whole range from edgy to traditional. A good collection needs quality as much as diversity. So we never can get enough of unique and professional executed illustration. We know exactly what we want, as soon as we see it. But we love to get surprised by something fresh and never seen. Whatever this may look like, all images on stockillustrations are by our approval.
delivery of Images
All artwork has to be delivered digitally according to our specifications. You will upload all material into the admin area of stockillustrations, high speed internet access recommended. In exeptions we can do this for you, but we have to charge you then.
In this case you send us material on CD or DVD, you have to take the charges for shipping or possible insurance. Any other material than CD or DVD, any originals or slides, will be rejected. Sorry, we have arrived in the future.
specifications for upload
Quality is the only accepted, so the images have to look like this:
final color and contrast corrected, ready to print version,
high resolution, raster-based images (vector-based images have to be rasterised),
prefered are A3 at 300 dpi in RGB (which means about 60-70 MB),
but most of you images might be smaller, so minimum file size is 20 cm in width or height at 300 dpi,
no extra channels,
itīs possible to upload .tiff, .eps and .psd files (Photoshop files have to be reduced to the background). It's faster and better to upload RGB than CMYK files. Please note that our system creates jpegs from your original files. Therefore it is not good to upload jpegs, because a "doubled" jpeg will create artefacts on the images.
Important: only original scan or created file sizes are acceped.
Any additional interpolation or blow up to reach a higher file size will definitly lead to rejection. We will check all material very carefully in the admin area, before we set it "live".
licenses and keywording
In the admin area of your portfolio will be a step by step guideline to fill in all needed details in a easy and proper way. The informations about the possible former usages of your images have to be put down there to assure our clients about the exclusive licenses, they wish to purchase. After you did the keywording, we will have a final view on your material. Then it will be put live on the site.
