Where to buy and sell vector illustrations

Are you a designer who make graphics in Illustrator, InkScape, PhotoShop are some other graphical software. Then you definitely want to turn your work in to cash. Well there are some websites that sell vector illustrations. Most of these illustrations are made by contributors that upload their work to these sites so that others can buy them. Doesn't it sounds nice to know that you can be such a contributor and make money with your designer qualities?

To make money with your illustrations you first need to register to those websites and upload samples of your best work to be approved as a contributor. So be careful what you upload and read the contributor rules to match their needs. All the websites work with earned credits. You get a piece of the actual sales value mostly around 25 % of the actual price. On every website you can set the license to expanded or exclusive. Exclusive means you only sell that piece of work on that website. Expanded means can sell your work any website you wish. An exclusive license can get you more money if it's been soled. An expanded license can only fetch more if it's been downloaded several times on more than one website. You can reach more people if you upload them to more than one website.

Christmas tree out of a can, the trend of Christmas 2009 continues in 2010

The hype for the Christmas period:
A Christmas tree out of a can
It can become the hype of this holiday season: the Christmas tree in a can. It suffices to open the can of 7.50 euro's, watering the earth and a few days later a small Christmas tree germinate. 'The can contains all the necessary nutrients for the tree to grow' according to Thierry Moortgat, who sell the Christmas trees. Such a can is an ideal Christmas gift, because after three weeks, the child has his own little Christmas tree.

A real spruce needs a year or six to grow into a full Christmas tree. But this is rather a desktop model. He is more than 10 to 15 centimeters (3,94 to 5,91 inches). Ideal for brighten your Office in these dark days. Does it need to be trimmed? The Christmas tree is just big enough to gang a little Christmas ball and a little pendulum in it.

Your own Christmas tree from a can. It's something else. Open the can, cover a little water and within a few days to grow your own Christmas tree out. Buy it on gigagadgets.be.

The can contains all the necessary nutrients that plants need to grow. As long as the can isn't opened, can it be stored for several months. You need to give it water if you open it. And after a few days you have a real Christmas tree that is growing.
