Hi all

I need to get a poster done that I can manipulate, put on facebook, print off and use as flyers, etc.....

I need it done....well yesterday.

Wondered if anyone has used Fiverr or can suggest something similar?

It's not about money saving apart from how can I do this without spending too much and as easily and quickly as possible (i'm not techie and no one to ask!!) Hope it ok to ask this here...

I've considered making one up myself and then scanning into computer....but when I look on image sites like getty images, so expensive....

anyone know of any other image sites?

thanks!

Fiverr works, each individual advertiser will have different average wait times, and usually an option to chivvy them along by paying more. The service you get for $5 is usually a bit of a loss leader into premium services (vector files for logos etc) but if you expect to pay $50 say you should get something OK quality in a short time.

Biggest problem is that in order to work for $5 to be worth anyone's worry they are usually in countries with different design tastes so you have to look for someone whose previous work doors your needs.

Thanks - I've found one that might be good. I want to keep it to a fiver, which is actually less in UK sterling at the moment...

The thing is I went to a website to get some images and although they claim to be free, as soon as I try to download them I'm being asked for £9.99!!

Not that i'm a free-gan or anything but if it says they are free it's a bit of a pain down the line.....this poster will cost me about £14....which I can't really afford.

Decision time. :-)

aaarghhh

now my problem is I've spent all night choosing a photo, I pay for it, download it.....saw it briefly in Windows Live Photo Gallery...but couldn't use any tools at the top (like it was a read only file or something)....

now can't find it anywhere on the computer

went back to the website and the pics are missing from my list of downloads....:(
