Every man has the creativity that comes in some different
way. Every particular human being is born with creativity which can reveal in
any sphere of our life. It is the act of forming new and imaginative ideas into
reality. It is god gifted; it is gradually manifested with age. Today's world
is more complicated than the present. Visual elements are now so updated that
people can give a look of what they dreamt or thought before. Graphics design, computers, the internet, etc. has been
functionally changing the world. according to the development of technology, it
comes to the question of its maintenance. As the internet is the platform where
you can get all of the things as a paid or free version.
But there are some bad manners which stole other resources
or concepts to claim that they are the creator of that. so many people around
us used to act this dumb and shit things without giving the proper dignity to
the artist.
Copyright is something like protection of your creative work
that is also called intellectual property rights. It tells about the actual
owner of the work or thing who deserves the post. In the law of copyright, only
the owner has the legal right to copy and reproduce their work. Without the
permission of the owner, no one has a proper right to do that. The law protects
the original work of authorship from when it has been made to fixation. The
copyright can protect over the subject like,
●
Audiovisual works such
as TV shows, movies, and online videos.
●
Sound recordings and
musical compositions.
●
Written works such as
books, articles, lectures.
●
Visual works such as
paintings, posters, and advertisements.
●
Video games and
computer software.
●
Dramatic works such as
plays and musicals.
In the field of graphics design, copyright is a must-do thing. If you are a content creator then you must need to make the copyright of your work so that no one can steal your harvest of suffering. The main goal of copyright is to reward the author directly.
Copyright law protects all types of visual elements like graphic design. It
grants the copyright holder the only rights to print, display, and distribute a
protectable work. Copyright law covers pictorial and graphic design works but
materials like words, phrases, names, titles, slogans can’t be protected with
copyright law. This is the reason why the business name and brand name,
character name, the business slogan is not copyrighted. Besides, you can’t
protect common symbols, shapes, and designs
under copyright law.
However, copyright law doesn’t need those who have a
creative mind. But registration is a good idea as it provides you with more
rights and protections if someone does attempt to infringe upon your copyright.
So, if you have something related to graphic design to like logo design and
high graphical images then you can register that with copyright law. For your
kind information, I am including here the process of registering your artwork,
●
First of all, visit
the website of the U.S copyright office and click register copyright.
●
Choose the visual arts
category as it includes the logo. Click to register a visual artwork.
●
Create your account.
●
Fill out and submit
the online application.
●
Pay the applicable
fee.
●
Upload or mail a copy
of your work to the copyright office.
The basis of copyright protection stems directly from the U.S constitution. It is believed
that securing the exclusive rights of authors to their writings for limited
periods would promote the art of intellectuality. Think about an expert on
graphic design, he/she designs so many newer things like logos, images, high regulation content, and publishes them on the internet. But as soon as it is
published, there is a chance to be handless and claimed by another anonymous
person. If it happened, then you are no more to achieve that next. That’s why
there is copyright law to deal with this type of fact also to reward the owner
of the content who deserves that. to realize the concept clearly, you should
give an eye of that which is given below,
It means the addition of that intellectual artwork or design
which are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright,
trademark, or patent laws. We may be familiar with some symbols like the Irish triskelia,
the works of William Shakespeare, etc. are in the public domain.
There are some common issues that works arrive in the public
domain-
●
If the copyright has
expired
●
If the owner of the
copyright failed to renew it.
●
Does copyright law
protect the work?
●
The copyright owner
dedicates it in the public domain consciously.
There are countless symbols, logos, and graphic images that
were copyright protected before. But the copyright has been expired or forfeited so that
it is known as the public domain at present. That’s not all if anyone wished to
rework to a public domain and want to make it as a copyrightable status. What
do you think, is it possible? The answer is Yes, it is.
You can collect design materials for your t-shirt design
by simply using some original copyrighted design. This is a great method for
those who are not a graphic designer and don’t have the knowledge and skills of graphic design. To use a copyrighted graphic image with a license, you need to
ask the permission of the original artist or the author. Sometimes you wouldn’t
get not only permission but also you will be allowed to use it free of cost.
That’s all about copyrighting any type of intellectual in a
proper way. If you have designs that you think not to go another hand and also
you want to make a strict rule that no one can use them without your
permission. Then you should need to take them under copyright law. A
copyrighted work is protected for the length of the author's life with the
addition of another seventy years. If the case is a form of joint work, then
the protection is granted during the last survivor life length of the joint
team with 70 years.
