Design wants to know if there is a difference in comparison between photos vs stock photos?

[sylvia-nam]

@vanessaavviles can you clarify what you mean by the question? Do you want Research to analyze the differences between photos and stock photos in terms of best practices? Or did you mean something else?

[vanessaavviles]

We were curious of the status of the research on best practices including illustrations vs stock photos?

[sylvia-nam]

@vanessaavviles from my understanding, you're asking a different question from the previous one. I can give a status update tomorrow if my understanding is correct

[vanessaavviles]

Yes, you are correct. There was a misunderstanding within our team. We are just curious of the status on the research. Thanks for finding that information for us.

@vanessaavviles 09/27 status update: we're doing a final revision of the research and will share the final product by October 11.
