So now that we know that graphic designers are likely in need of trademarks for their work, what is the next step that a graphic designer needs to do to avoid infringing on existing trademarks?

Wasn't there a whole Futur course for trademark guidance? I swear there was and I was very interested in it! The Set Up kit only seems to cover LLC.

A lot of webdesign personal project concepts on behance use video/materials for showcasing taken from for example official website.
For example redesign of website concept for lets say ps5 (and they use videos from official site/$fonts) and at the end of behance case says like all materials vere used for non commercial propercies.

I like this idea. Imo not the best idea always to use stock stuff in personal projects. So a question: if I want to do a redesigns of some businesses non commercial/just for showcasing I am pretty sure can I use videos/materials/images from a webstite/from random youtube official video /... (just like a small part of behance redesign concept webdesign presentation) and fells free? A lot of people on behance are doing this and thats adding a flow and a behance case looks better

I came up with a saying for print on demand for say, t-shirts! I want to protect my text as it's very special and one of a kind! Everyone will copy me if I just put my t-shirt out there!! Can you tell me where to go? I"m a commercial artist but in this instance it's the saying that will go on t-shirts etc. Thanks

💎 Thank you such a relevant topic. So important nowadays because most people are creating content. That’s why I teach extensively on my YouTube channel. ❤️

[LennyYT]

Awesomeness. Is there a definite correct and safe way on credit attribution when reposting content?

[sankritk]

This was very useful! Still waiting for a video on CONTRACTS with clients. :)

[bluehawk]

[thomasdezelus]

Thank you Joey for these great insights for designer bunnies! I have a question to climb out the hole..how do you protect your designs on international level?

[TheRustedPixel]

"I like to call it that...cos that's what it's called". Made me laugh.
