I want to donate a community initiative a monthly $ amount for stock images for their newsletter. I really don't want to have to spend the time finding and downloading images for them - I just want to donate the budget to them.
Would it be possible to "nominate" a beneficiary account and either transfer $ directly to that account from one's own account and/or set up a monthly transfer budget for their use?
Edit: Obviously, this would in turn enable larger companies or agencies to allocate budget to different designers, projects, clients or accounts. posted in The ability to "sponsor" accounts
From what I've read the theory for stock images (sorry, not sure about illustrations) is that they last around 5 years for traditional stock and currently around 3 years for the micros.
This is not to say that that a portfolio "dies" after 3 years - it will always have a value. The concept is that a portfolio of images does have something of a lifespan which reduces to, say, 10% of it's original value over time.
Also, the micros are probably too new and too volatile to really get a good sense of a portfolio's lifespan at this point. Who knows where it's all going or what the future value of a good portfolio will be.
A really hot stock image of a girl in legwarmers from the 80s is, um, well just not popular in 2009. Pictures of wildlife tend not to date . . . but then they are typically not the fastest sellers compared to other subjects to begin with.
