Creating your own 125×125 advert artwork from scratch is great, but sometimes you just need an image quick — and preferably it needs to be free — but where can you find quality royalty free images and photos fast?

Although there are now hundreds of such websites, I tend to gravitate towards two, Stock Xchng and Fotolia. Both offer royalty free images and also have very reasonably priced pro images that can be bought for only a few pence/cents.

Bare in mind that some images may have restrictions, but you should find that you can usually contact the owner and get permission to use the images for almost anything — be it personal or commercial work.
