Artwork and designs

[Alltheusefulitems]

How do you obtain artwork or designs that can be used on products for sale? For example a sheet of stickers with bespoke designs or stationary with a bespoke pattern on or a fact sheet with a specific design/picture relevant to what's on the sheet behind the text

Would I perhaps pay an illustrator on fiverr or similar to design something bespoke and pay them for it and or is there a cheaper/better/different way?

Can you just use Canva and do it yourself?

There are lots of stock images sites eg istockphoto, shutterstock, creative market but you will usually need to buy any extended licence to use the purchased image on something you’re then going to sell. You could commission someone and have exactly what you want plus the rights to use it but it would be more expensive.
