If you are looking for vector or raster artwork to design your products for sale, then this video is for you.

I am talking about:

1) The problem with using free vector art found online. It is often stolen from the artists, as happened with my vector repeat patterns many times, and you never know if you can trust the websites that distribute free vector art files online.


2) What is art license and where can you find it. It is the document that comes with vector art files you purchase that states how exactly and how long you are able to use this vector repeat pattern or vector art file.

3) How to make sure that your vector art that you want to use to design products for sale is properly licensed? The best way is to find out who is the artist and to contact them.


4) Many vector art files found online are not unique and not exclusive and there will probably be more products that use the same artwork for sale. If you want your products to be unique, please contact a textile designer or surface pattern designer. They can create a unique, custom artwork for you.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a lower, so please contact your legal advisor for details about copyright law and commercial art licensing. I am a freelance textile designer and I license my vector art online as well as create custom, unique vector patterns for my clients.


If you think that my work is a good fit for your products, please contact me to schedule your free Skype consultation today.
