03-11 | Turn your visual copyright into cash
Trainer: Marcel van de Graaf - Pictoright
What will you learn this evening?
What exactly is visual copyright? How does it work? How do you determine when something is yours? How do you make sure you get paid fairly when your design or image is used? What is your visual work worth? When you design something on commission, what about your copyright? How difficult is it to determine that? Tonight, you will get answers to these questions. How to get paid fairly for your creative labor as an image maker, how to come to a fair agreement and who to turn to when someone uses your work.
