I'm quite sure your opinion is shared by many designers. I agree that it could appear to cheapen the design profession, but at the same time, it could encourage young professionals/graduates/students and provide them with income. Also, I take your point over iStockphoto (et al) but how many agencies use it daily? That in turn provides a gateway to higher-end stock websites, so this could open up a whole new client base to the design world. We'll watch to see how it develops, but I doubt it will revolutionise the design world; instead it will function as a service used by those who want it. Interesting thoughts Ray.

Any one contributing to these sites should be ashamed of themselves. Services like this hurt all designers (as stock photography has hurt all photographers).
