We also offer scrap kits. A scrap kit is a set of elemets that may be drawn originally or digitally rendered for the purpose of digital design. Scrap kits may contain backgrounds, characters in PGN format, cluster frames, etc. The majority of scrap kits come only under the PU license, but some can be used for commercial purposes and come under CU licenses.

Happy upcoming St. Patty's Day!

 

Who is Saint Patrick and what to do on his day?

Hey there!smiley March the 17th is coming soon, so we decided to tell you about St. Patrick's Day.
Let's start with Patrick, because people who celebrate his day nowadays know little of him. The most important source of information about him is a book that he wrote himself, "Confession". His life, like that of many Christian saints, was difficult and sometimes tragic, but righteous.
 
He was born in Britain to a relatively wealthy family. However, he did not receive a good education, as "Confession" was written in bad Latin, and he called himself illiterate. At the age of 16, he was kidnapped by robbers from his parents' house and taken to Ireland, where he was tending sheep. During his captivity, he came to believe in God under the influence of other Christian slaves from Britain.
 
Then he managed to escape from his captors and go by ship to Britain, where on the way he was again attacked by robbers and taken prisoner for 60 days, but he was able to escape once more. The way Saint Patrick describes this period of his life is very similar to the wanderings of Moses. At home, he received the priesthood and began to climb the ladder of the church hierarchy.
 
He returned to Ireland already as a bishop. It is not known why he made such a decision – the sources of that time say that he either saw an angel who gave him a letter from the people of Ireland, or began to hear their voices. At first, St. Patrick's flock were slaves, women and robbers, but then he probably enlisted the support of local rulers and nobility, and began to massively convert the Irish to Christianity.
 
According to various testimonies, he built 300-600 churches and baptized more than 12 thousand people. He is revered as the apostle of Ireland and its chief patron saint. The place and circumstances of his death are not known, but we know the date – March 17th. On this day they celebrate his feast.
 
The Irish loved St. Patrick a lot, so his figure was surrounded by myths and legends, and then integrated into local folklore along with leprechauns and fairies. For the Irish diaspora, St. Patrick was a symbol of the homeland, so until recently, his day was celebrated more outside of Ireland than in it.
 
P.S. Funny enough, but St. Patrick has nothing to do with beer, the drinking of which has become a crucial part of his holiday. He neither brewed it nor drank it. The real patron saint of brewing and hop picking is Arnold of Soissons.
 
What to do on St. Patrick's Day?
  • If you have a financial ability to travel, it's a good idea to visit Dublin these days to watch the celebrations and visit the famous St. Patrick's Cathedral.
  • Visiting the festivals. It is not necessary to travel far. Find out what events are planned in your city these days. Perhaps the local Irish community is preparing a holiday program.
  • Go to an Irish pub for traditional food and a beer, or set the table at home. Food can be cooked by yourself or ordered from a delivery service. Throw a party for friends or prepare a small family feast.
  • Read books about Irish folklore or watch movies and cartoons.
  • Set up a treasure hunt. Going into the woods in search of leprechaun gold is a dangerous thing to do, but you and your family can hide gifts for each other in the house or in the city, and draw a map of how to get to them.
  • Decorate your home or make holiday cards.
  • Play board games, such as Monopoly.
  • Psp tagging is also a good thing. See what psp tubes and scrap kits for St. Patrick's Day our store offers.

Promotions explained

Hey there! Today we will talk about a unique automated profile on our website: Promotions. It allows scrap kit creators and artists to independently run promotions like "buy one get two" and discounts, and for customers to buy PSP tubes and scrap kits for less.
The best part is that you do not need to e-mail us or the artist/scrap kit designer: you can do it all yourself in less than a minute. 
 
Another great thing is that your promo bonuses do not expire: you can download them whenever you like, as long as the artist is still selling at the store and has any items available to choose from.
 
We also made sure you are protected against duplicates! If you happen to download any images that you previously purchased, the number of downloads available will not change, you will still have that bonus download available!
 
Here is what you do when you purchased the required amount of tubes or kits:
 
1) Go to your account  GIFTS - Available Gifts
 
2) You will see the name(s) of the artist(s) or kit designer(s) you have bonuses from. Click on the name of the artist or scrap kit designer. 
 
3) You will be taken to a new page where all kits by that artist or scrap kit designer are displayed. Each one of them is marked "Promo download"
 
4) Click on the grey Promo Download link and then click on the blue Promo download link again, when a new page opens with that tube or kit. The download will start immediately. 
5) In future, you can always find that promo bonus in your Purchase History, just like any other tubes or kit you purchased.

P.S. We get asked a lot whether you should write the scrap kit designer’s name in the copyrights for tags. It’s not necessary, mentioning only the psp tube’s author is enough. If you buy a scrap kit with a ready psp tube, you should write only the artist’s name in the credits. For example, you purchased a scrap kit from designer A with a psp tube by the artist B. The credits on your tag should look like *your license*, *artist B's name*, picsfordesign.com.

Creative ways to use stock illustration

Hey! Let's talk about the uses of stock illustration. Unlike stock photography, it cannot be used in newspapers and other media. However, it can be applied in other, more creative areas.
 
1. Interior design. Photo wallpapers with memorable illustrations can decorate many spaces, such as cafes or beauty salons. Drawings by our artist Kajenna, for example, would look good in a pet store or veterinary clinic.
 
2. Tableware, and any, not just cups. Bright illustrations can decorate teapots, saucers, plates. Pictures by LadyMishka have the right place on sets of dishes for children.
 
3. Clothes. Drawings can be printed not only on T-shirts, but also on jackets, socks, caps, beanies, even pants. A stock illustration can be the detail that draws attention to a simple cut and makes it original.
 
4. Food packaging design. On our YouTube channel, we showed how you can make a pack of cat food or a bag of candy eye-catching and memorable.
 
5. Car stickers. An unusual way to personalize your vehicle.
 
6. Illustration of books. Needs no explanation. Pictures of our artists will make a fantastic story or a children's fairy tale better.
 

7. Stationary. Diaries, notebooks, planners, pens, pencil cases, etc.

Our website offers more than 30 000 of high quality stock illustrations for personal or commercial use. Commercial type licenses allow you to use these pictures to create products for sale and/or decorate your brand's website, banners, social media, newsletter and etc.
