Vonster is the Illustrator/vector god. great honest interview, thanks vectips. Not only is he a great illustrator…he’s a great teacher. It blows me away when I see all that he shares on his websites for us floundering illustrator newbies.

You’re correct you can exchange it but the exchange rate isn’t 1 credit = 1 dollar, that was my point I just didn’t clarify it too well.

Not sure I agree about your attitude towards iStockphoto – I think that it’s a good source if media for any type of business, and also a good way to promote yourself as a designer. I do believe you can exchange the credits for money, anyway, can’t you?
I can’s say I’ve had problems with converting Ai files into earlier versions, however – I’m not sure a lot of people still use anything below CS anyway…

Still, I admire your work, and particularly like your Digital Life piece. Thanks for the interview, Ryan.

Great interview Von. I always enjoy your straightforwardness and insight on the illustration & design biz. Interesting take on the “one style fits all” situation.

And to clarify on the iStockPhoto thing: everything you said was accurate save for the ‘credits’ thing – you can convert the credits to real dollars. Unless they changed something — haven’t really used it much since I first experimented with it.
