Study Task 4 - Copyright

How copyright could effect current & future practice:

- Instagram - posting work publicly online could make it open for people to steal or copy. By putting the copyright symbol somewhere visible in the bio would not protect my work fully, but could deter some people.

- Source Material - drawing from found photos or collaging found material could be an infringement on other's copyright. Would need to ensure that the image is changed enough for it not to be recognised from the original, that the photo is outside of copyright protection, or to just use my own reference images. 

- Commissions - responding to commissioned briefs, working for clients, I will still own  the copyright for the work as outlined in a legal contract.

- Selling - selling work at print fairs to the public, I will still own the copyright for the images sold.

- Exhibitions - when exhibiting work I will still own the copyrights to the work shown.
