Seperate elements or collections?     posted on 8th of december, 2010

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share this info with those who upload collections of vector elements or photos in one file. This concerns dreamstime agency the most. For example if you upload a collection of vector 3d web icons like this one

Think about a buyer who wants to buy only one element from this collection and he don't have vector editing software so he wants JPG version and the smallest size possible. For example one credit version (480x480 size). Instead of paying 1 credit he has to buy 5,6 or 7 credit version to make one element from this collection useful, because if he buys this collection for one credit separate elements is too small. For example this 3d rss icon i uploaded separated from other elements has more downloads than the whole collection. Summary of this post: always upload separate elements after you submit collection.

I don`t know if DT let you do that! First to make a collection on the same picture and then to upload them separately ! It sounds to me like a rejection so I won`t take the chance :P - posted by Thanatonautii on December 09, 2010
Thanks for the article, you're right :) - posted by FabioConcetta on December 09, 2010
Interesting finding.
Slightly off topic but I'm wondering about the watermark on the picture with many icons. A lot of the illustrations are actually not covered by it, could this be a problem?

Useful blog. - posted by Linqong on December 08, 2010
That's so relative! You made both versions. I prefer to have the 13 elements with out paying 13 credits. It's a competitive market, so we try to make many versions to reach buyer's taste. The example you have is one taste of many that buyers could have! Cheers ;) - posted by Mani33 on December 08, 2010

>I joined microstock in June of 2007. When i got my first ever digital camera Canon A710IS. Shot a lot of images and tryed to get them approved in here. It was hard for me to do that. Then i started doing illustration my approval rate jumped up to 90%. Now after 2 years of working on illustrations i think that i'm now quite experienced at this.
Also i work as a graphics designer here in Lithuania. This is a part time job.
Soon i'm preparing to go for a freelancing. So from now i accept requests from all to make illustration, design or flash piece.
