History of Shutterstock
History of Shutterstock
Shutterstock was founded in 2003 by Jon Oringer. Oringer uploaded 30,000 of his own stock photos and made them available via subscription, forming the basis of the company.
Shutterstock began selling stock video in February 2006, the first site of its kind to do so. Originally a subscription site, Shutterstock expanded beyond subscriptions into a la carte purchase options in August 2008. On September 23, 2009, Shutterstock announced that it had purchased rival site Bigstock, a credit-based microstock photography agency.
In February 2011, Shutterstock announced a two-year partnership with the AIGA, to provide creative inspiration to its members. One year later, Shutterstock surpassed 200 million stock image downloads, making it the first stock agency to claim such a milestone.
By April 2012, Shutterstock had more than 19 million royalty-free images and 500,000 royalty-free video clips available to subscribers, created by more than 35,000 photographers, illustrators, and videographers.In June, 2012, Shutterstock surpassed 20 million images in its collection.
In May 2012, Shutterstock filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, which it completed on October 17, 2012 under the ticker SSTK.
On April 12, 2013, Shutterstock announced that it had reached 25 million images in its collection, and had sold over 300 million licenses since its founding in 2003

Contributors
Contributing photographers must apply before they are eligible to upload their images. The applicants must submit 10 pictures that are screened for quality and suitability. At least 7 pictures must be approved for the contributor account to become active. Each image is reviewed by hand by Shutterstock's team of reviewers.
Once approved, contributors can begin uploading their work through the website. They supply keywords, categorize the images, and submit them to the "inspection queue", where each and every image is examined to ensure that it meets the standards of quality, usefulness and copyright and trademark laws. Each time an image is downloaded, the photographer receives a flat rate of 25c (with a tiered set of raises as the contributor reaches lifetime earnings of $500, $3,000, and $10,000, respectively).
Footage
In April 2006, Shutterstock began offering royalty-free stock footage on their website. Shutterstock Footage operates similarly to their image library, offering video clips by subscription or on a per-clip basis. Shutterstock footage is available in a variety of formats, including DVCAM, HDCAM and Betacam. Today, Shutterstock Footage contains over 1 million royalty-free video clips. According to the company, more than 80% of their video clips are available in HD.

History of the T-shirt
The dubbed “T-shirt” surfaced in the United States when they were issued by the U.S. Navy sometime around the Spanish American War. They featured crew-necks and short sleeves and were meant to be worn as underwear beaneath the uniform. Soon it was adopted by the Army as part of the standard issue ensemble given to recruits. It got its iconic name from its shape resembling the letter “T”. Dockworkers, farmers, miners, and construction type workers also adopted the T-shirt prefering the lightweight fabric in hotter weather conditions.
The inexpensive cotton and easy to clean garment became the shirt of choice by mothers for their sons as outerwear for chores and play. By the 1920′s “T-shirt” became an official American-English word in the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary.

The earliest printed shirt was perhaps the Air Corps Gunnery School T-shirt featured on the July 13th, 1942 cover of LIFE magazine. Mickey Mouse would follow suit a few years later as an exclusively licensed print for Tropix Togs, a company founded by Sam Kantor in Miami, Florida.
Aside from veterans and bluecollar workers, the popularity of the T-shirt skyrocketed to even greater heights when Marlon Brando wore one in A Streetcar Named Desire. It became fashionably cool to wear as an outer garment.
In the late 1960s, the T-shirt became a means of self expression as wearable art as well as to convey commercial advertising, souvenir messages, and protests. Psychedelic artist Warren Dayton pioneered several political, and pop-culture art T-shirts featuring images of Cesar Chavez, political cartoons, and other cultural icons of that era. The designs produced in the 1970′s are just as popular today as they were then, if not perhaps more so. Some of the more notable shirt designs over the decades include the yellow happy face T-shirts, The Rolling Stones’ “tongue and lips” logo, “Kiss me, I’m Irish” St. Patrick’s Day slogan, and the legendary “I ♥ N Y” or any of the “I ♥ ____” variants and spoofs such as “I ♣ baby seals”. Other popular shirt designs include “My parents went to ______ (name of place), and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!”, “Who farted?”, “I’m With stupid ——>”, and any standard tie-dye tee.
Sometime between those designs, many colors of fabric as well as many variations of cuts and styles were added as options. Including: crew neck, raglan, ringers, tanks, babydoll, spaghetti strap, V neck, A-shirts, camisole, polo, and many more.
As for placing designs on clothing this practice goes back even further to heraldric, tribal, political,and religious symbols being used on armor and clothes in various cultures from as far back as certain as the Ancient Greek and Roman times, perhaps even further like the Sumerian civilization. Probably some crude style paint over woven fabric or perhaps over fur to mark a hunting party member or perhaps signify rank.
Today many types of design applications are used on apparel. Such methods as: Air brushing, embroidery, direct printing, heat transfer, silk screening, plot, and needlepoint to name a few.
