But with Pexels no attribution is required. There is such a place my friends, its called and its completely free! (Just a side note, I am not affiliated with them, I just love them.) This is where I go for a foundation image when I am in need of a silhouette object, such as an animal or person. Many sites require some form of attribution, so you would have to mention them wherever the design is used. Go through site that offers free commercial image use that also includes alterations.Take your own photo with a camera and this to trace or.Obtain written permission from the site owner. So how do I leverage image trace legally? Well, there's three solutions I have found for this: Then there's designs that are too simple, too cheap (for lack of a better word) that won't appeal to your audience. There's a point that if you spend too much time on a single design that makes it unprofitable, when you won't receive out of it what you put into it. There is a balance between good, quality designs and designs just thrown together. The way more to make more money is by creating designs as fast as possible. This is huge, especially if you are selling your designs like I am. I am a design commerce business owner, I do not have time to making ALL my designs from scratch and I know you don't either. So is all hope lost? It doesn't make sense to spend hours and hours trying to make a little kitty cat by hand that is a minor part of your design. What would be considered illegal? If you search an image in Google and trace the first image that pops up, you are more than likely using an image that is copyrighted! This is illegal. So back to it.you or the person using your design could get into some serious trouble for using a design illegally. Just have a process in place so that when it does happen, you know what to do and have statements, etc. Don't waste time scouring the web for people copying your designs. Kind of serious business, but being a designer online these days you NEED to let them know you mean business! I encourage each of you to do the same so that all the hours you put into a design do not get copied and redistributed online and then all that hard work going down the drain. Please remove them from your store within 48 hours or the next time you hear from me will be through my legal attorney. I contacted the company (now have a legal statement written up that I send them), but at the time I said something along the lines of this: I am the original designer of this item, you do not have my permission to use this. Someone had copied one of my designs and was actually reselling it to their customers. If the cut file design is being used to create a shirt, decor or other item, the last thing you want is to have someone recognize the design as not being yours and report it to the owner. This method I will teach you is meant to ENHANCE your design by giving you a starting point, a foundation, something to BUILD upon. I am NOT encouraging you to copy someone else’s work. When I learned the ins and outs of tracing an image and turning it into an SVG file I felt I had opened a door into a new era of design.in a good, legal way! Say what? Tracing someone else's photo is not original content and therefore illegal, isn't it? Yes and no. Tracing, when not done the right, legal way limits us as designers from learning, broadening and improving our design abilities. Trust me, if you are using this as the main method to design, I promise that you are not only limiting yourself but its apparent to others that it is not original. Don't have the time to read?
