If not, pop onto Pinterest and search 'illustration'..... there are thousands of images on there, most of which are not watermarked. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">How difficult is it for someone to use an illustration from Pinterest or any other site for a website header, Facebook meme (you know those sweet little 'have a nice day' pictures people post up with a load of inspiring or humorous text), or to use the image for some sort of online advert / promotion...... I'll tell you how difficult it is.... a big fat zero in the score of difficult. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What are the chances you know where your illustrations are being used? A very slim chance unless you are constantly doing a reverse image search.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Artists, illustrators, designers and photographers are finding their images on sites including Pinterest, available for free sharing and ultimately ending up as free advertising for businesses. In some cases people are stripping the metadata, cropping away watermarks, erasing signatures etc, just to make it look like the images on their site or advert are legitimately licensed and paid for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Most portfolio sites offer the option for 'pinning' (adding the image to someone's Pinterest pages... online scrapbooking type idea). What happens when you remove that image from the portfolio site? The image stays on Pinterest without the 'source' website showing your illustration.... ripe for becoming an 'orphan work' if someone chooses to remove your metadata, especially if you don't have a watermark ACROSS the image.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you are concerned about the prospect of your work ending up an 'orphan work', watermark ALL images you put on the internet. Don't think that putting low resolution images will stop your work being used without your permission.... Consider this, how big a resolution do people need for a meme on Facebook? How big a resolution do people need for a website banner, background or advert?</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yes, having your work on Facebook, Pinterest, Blogs etc DOES get you exposure if you're a commercial artist, illustrator, photographer, designer etc...... but only if YOUR name is still attached to YOUR images.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">If you think this only applies to commercial artists and photographers, think again. How would you feel if your photos were used for a political party with whom you had no affiliation? Or for a type of business that you didn't like because of their particular business ethics? Don't you think you deserve to know when your photos are being used by someone for profit, advertising or promotion? If so, watermark them... it's not hard and there are plenty of tutorials on Youtube!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Two exciting bits of news this month!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Firstly Bothy Threads have licensed two Pepper and Friends designs for their counted cross stitch kits. Pepper the playful puppy was first licensed for paper-craft in 2010 and I'm thrilled to see the little cutey in stitch now!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I will be running a competition on my Facebook page next month to win a kit, so please remember to follow me <a href="http://www.facebook.com/HelzCuppleditchIllustration" target="_blank">HERE!</a></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Secondly, the lovely team at World Of Cross Stitching turned one of my Riverbank Revels illustrations into a cross design. The mouse caravan is in issue number 205 and looks fabulous as a stitched design!</span></div>

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Everyone should watermark all images they place on the internet.... professionals and non-pros :) If your images cannot be traced back to you, they can become an 'orphan work' which means no known owner. In the future, orphan works MAY be used by a company for an advert etc. (even low res images on the net can be used!!) It's possible it might be used for an advert (eg a political party / arms manufacturer etc) and you totally disagree with the morals of that campaign!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Also make sure you resize images so they are 72dpi (I tend to make the largest side 7 inches max) and save files with your name in the files name (eg Helz Cuppleditch Zoo 2013). This file data is stripped and replaced when you place an image on Facebook, so all the more reason to add a watermark.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And a couple of weeks ago I went into a secondary school to give a talk about careers in the arts.... did you know that the UK creative industries (including film, music, tv, games development) are worth more than £36 billion? They generate £70,000 every minute for the British economy, and the creative industries account for around £1 in every £10 of the UK's exports... We need to inspire our next generations!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However, I booked a threatre break for my family in November through Threatre Line, based in Uxbridge, who also are registered as Intime Tickets.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">... a real treat as we wanted to go to London for New Year's Eve, see a show and then watch the firework display over the Thames.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Two days before the trip, the company phoned to cancel the booking, stating the show Wicked had been cancelled for New Year's Eve 2012, so the company had to cancel the booking and refund me the payment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">On 1st January, I emailed Theatre Line to check on the status of my refund.... no response.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Today I have emailed them twice, no reponse, and phoned them 8 times to ask for an email from them confirming the refund has been actioned or status of that. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Each phone call has had a different response:</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'phone back after 11 as that's when accounts personal are in', </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'there are no accounts personel in on a Saturday', </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'the refund was actioned on the day of cancellation'</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'the refund was actioned on 1st January'</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'my manager did the refund on 1st January'</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">(however, from the manager: 'I've been away and only just got back in the office')</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">'we can't confirm the refund as our email system is down today'</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">(I got a friend to email an enquiry to them, and guess what, they got a response!!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Having spoken to my credit card company, there are no pending transactions from ThreatreLine or Intime Tickets.... so nothing had been actioned up to yesterday.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">And having spoken to the hotel we were meant to be booked in to (booking made on 28th November with Theatre Line), and guess what.... no booking had ever been made in my name.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I will never use Theatre Line or Intime Tickets again, would never recommend them to anyone and certainly would suggest everyone gives them a very wide berth!</span>Helz Cuppleditchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09222557916198377524noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719572492683083205.post-91109369874717657982013-01-02T14:27:00.001+00:002013-01-02T14:27:59.232+00:00Riverbank Revels<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
