(NAPSI)-Although a lot of people may think they don't have a creative bone in their body, the Internet is often proving them wrong. A new generation of Web sites is making it simpler and more fun to weave a World Wide Web of creativity--and sometimes even make a little money doing it.
For example, SnapVillage.com offers the chance for budding photographers to sell their own photography online. Photographers simply have to upload their images and select how much they want to license it for at prices between $1 and $50, and then see their creativity rewarded.
These types of Web sites can help people add "image-ination" to any creative project. From small businesses making their Web site or brochure look more professional to bloggers and social networkers giving their personal sites or MySpace profile a creative flair, more and more people are using affordable, high-quality imagery that can be quickly and easily downloaded.
People are buying photos for as little as a dollar to create personalized design projects such as postcards, stationery, save-the-date reminders, place mats or T-shirts, which turn out looking like they were professionally done while having that personal touch.
"Searching and buying photos now is simple and fun--all you need is a little inspiration, an Internet connection and a credit card," says Terri Ouellette, national spokesperson for the Craft & Hobby Association.
Other Web sites like Zazzle let people use their favorite digital images to create things such as custom postal stamps, posters, calendars and bags. All you have to do is go to Zazzle.com, upload an image and pick what you want created. They will take care of making it and mail you the finished product.
