A Medical Illustration and Animation team with studios in the Chicago Loop, Texas, and Singapore, serving Legal, Editorial, and Advertising clients worldwide.
Once referenced and catalogued, other people in the Client's company who've never heard of you might use them unauthorized. We'll discuss what to do if such infringement occurs in future posts. See you next week!
Photoshop layers are assets that are not free, so minimize the number of layers you give your Client with the final art. Peg Gerrity always put the callouts on one layer and the base art below that as a flat background.
The layers could be used and re-used over and over without your permission. The Client has no right to do this unless you relinquished these rights in your contract, however, art files often get stuck in a digital system within a corporation.
"Fees include one round of sketch revisions and all requested revisions must be sent to the Artist in writing via one correspondence.
It is the Client's responsibility to review work thoroughly and be liable for all accuracy of content.
As we celebrate our nation’s history, we also celebrate the wonderful diversity in our population. Representation matters, so it’s important to avoid the ‘family trap’ that I was in during the early part of my career. #MedArtMentorMondays#commercialart#representationmatters
Every person, regardless of race, gender, body type, etc deserves equitable health education materials, so it is important for medical illustrators to reflect such diversity in the figures they draw.
Learn a New Technique! Medical Illustrators and other commercial artists often spend loads of time learning new techniques in #zbrush, #cinema4d, #photoshop, etc. However, it’s important not to neglect traditional techniques as well.
It’s never too late for a commercial illustrator to learn a traditional technique, be it watercolors, oil painting, throwing pots, you name it! The value is tremendous. Just the act of creating in a new media can be a shot in the arm for your commercial art.
