Study Task 7: CopyShop



After reviewing my current online presence I've realised that there are more measures that I can take to protect my own intellectual property which I hadn't considered as very important before- I guess I thought anyone would WANT to steal my work! But as I start to be asked for commissions it's becoming more important to me.
In terms of copyright: I credit other work where I can on Instagram and on my blogs, and do not take credit for work that isn't mine e.g. in my showreel I state which elements of collaborative work I did.

I do not have a copyright banner on any sites, and my artwork is only on Instagram. I have not used watermarks before for the reason I mentioned previously, but I plan to start putting a simple tag (of my name) next to the work I post! I also check with anyone who commissions me that the work I produce can be posted to my social media!

When I am free to do commissions I put a contact in my Instagram bio, but I also may swap to the "artist" account on Instagram so the Email option is always there if anyone was wanting to get in contact about my work.
