Copyright covers original works of art, literature, drama, broadcast, sound a typographical arrangements up to 70 years after the death of its creator.
Within my own practice - How might I engage with copyright law?
Literary References - As a practicing illustrator I may work with copyright free texts or originate my own text to avoid infringement. Working with a publisher, existing texts may be licensed for my interpretation.
Educational Resources - Within my intent for a museum based education practice, I may rely on visual and textual resources and learning devices. Reproduction and distribution of content would risk infringement and so using an institutional license would be necessary, or fully crediting the source.
Distributing my own work - As a freelance illustrator I will rely heavily on social media and so will need to be vigilant that my own copyright and intellectual property is respected. Using low resolution images and always uploading files with my name in the file title will avoid infringement.
Licensing my own work - Working for clients, I would need to license my artwork for specific purposes and time frames under which the work can be used only. Also in my wider intent for practice is writing and so I would need to fully reference and credit source materials, as well as publish myself as the author of work I have originated.
