Curse Of The Freelancer | Copyright
05 | Copyright
MASSIVE Ouchie! Just this week I experienced the harsh reality of copyright infringement (unintended).
I was made aware I used a particular image which I was unaware that it had copyright infringement values and I had to pay the heavy price. Which isn’t ideal when freelancing and keeping cash flow in the green.
I have however learnt a very valuable lesson from this experience, to which I won’t ever make that mistake again.
My Solution.
CHECK Copyright on ALL imagery/content you use.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to make sure you are using the correct copyright procedures othwerwise you WILL get stung like me, and that’s not cool.
Check with content owner and if ever in doubt don’t use at all. Please don’t make the same mistake I did.

The Story
I wanted to start a little side project called Curse Of The Freelancer. My aim here is to show my experiences of when times can get alittle tricky when freelancing. I have been freelance for many years now, and I honestly wouldn’t want to do anything else. It gives me freedom with time, the opportunity for more family events, type of client and preferred design direction.
It does, however, come with risks...
In this series I want to share my personal experienes of my freelance wars, as you imagine things are not always plain sailing. I want to show this is a fun way, to help make designers aware of the risks. I do not want this to be seen as a negative overview/vibe of freelance, just more of a realistic one (from my perspective).
I hope this will be a good source and if I can help in anyway I would see this as a success. I am also open to hear other freelancers stories too.
I have many more designs/explanations I am working on, so do keep posted over the next few weeks.
