Creativity is nothing without experience. It is not Art exactly, it is scientific art. If you have a good idea for your own job, you can do that with all of materials what you have in your hand.

For the stock and unique image, it is different issue, not abut creativity. We can talk about Unique Designs.

Creativity isn't the result of using just images or just illustrations but a combination of both depending on what your client prefers and how your skills can deliver on such.

Talent, training & experience count most…

and it does to me personally… stock photos helps

a lot easier but without proper training and experience,

schooled and experienced designer can spot the difference..

Thank you for the invitation

Creative digital design uses much more information than self-efforting image stock because it uses a variety of different information that allows you to create a new and more attractive design

Absolutely! Using your own creative digital design is best because it not only shows that as the designer, thought as been given to match the clients specific needs, but some times stock photos are too generic and limites what you can do to help elivate the client's brand.
