Does a freelance designer need to have a paid stock account?

Question

Freelance

Is it often necessary to buy tariffs on such resources.
Or there are enough free stocks.
Perhaps buying is required only for very expensive projects?

Answer 1

Almost everything is free - in fact, just boiled down from paid drains.
There were precedents in Russia. The authors found their photographs on huge signs in cities, for example, and sued. The clause of the performers that they "took on a free site on the Internet" does not apply to the courts.
On stocks , materials cost a penny .
Buy materials should be for any (all) orders . In fact, you don't have to buy the material until the very last moment. You give all draft versions to the customer directly with the stock logo. This is practiced.
When the customer is finally determined, he buys everything. Well, or you make him an extra charge on the cost of stock materials.
Often or not.Have a permanent renewable tariff or redeem one-time - depends on the regularity of your work.
I just transfer all this to the customer.

Answer 2

And I thought the designers themselves draw everything and in the future already use their developments
. Otherwise, why would they need the title - "designer"?

Answer 3

such designers who really correspond to this term, unfortunately, on the fingers of one little hand .... the rest use this word to denote the unmarked or simply to give weight, in their own eyes. before the advent of computers, very, very carefully, people approached to "declare" itself like this: the casket just opened: when such a "dizushka" was asked on a piece of paper to indicate their vision of building the composition of the future product, the "design" immediately ended (more precisely), for many amateurs who picked up terms , such as "concept" and so on according to the list .... like that. And now, steal and "shove" as your own. and the price for services, dumping.
