Study Task 5
As I start to think about posting my work onto social media it was important for me to consider copyright. I wanted to consider my options for copyright because I wanted to know what attempts I could use to protect my work so individuals can not steal my work as their own or use my work to be paid themselves.
I started by re-reading the powerpoint from the lesson and choosing what copyright options would be best for me. This was the first copyright option that could of worked for me. This allows individuals to use my work in a commercial and non-commercial way however, I would have to be credited in their use of my work. This is a good option for me because sometimes you are unable to take action when someone has stolen your work. This copyright choice allows people to use and take your work for their free use as long as I am credited for the use of my work.
After looking at that option I realised that individuals would be able to possibly get paid for the use of my work and for my name to only be credited. I found this an unfair advantage as the work would purely be mine and I do not think someone else should be paid for the work you have completed unless it is under contract. This copyright option was my solution. This allows a individual to download or share my work however, they are unable to use my work in a commercial way or gain a paid recognition for the work they did not design or make. This option keeps my work more protected as people are unable to claim or change my work into their own and I will seek full credit for what I have designed.
After considering both these options, I decided to look into watermarks. Although this idea is effective and does what it is designed to do, I think this ruins the aesthetic look of my designs and I do not think this is an option I would be willing to use to protect my work as I want people to be able to view my work without a watermark over the top of the design.
