Changes in technology, design trends, and the economy have changed the ways graphic designers find and perform jobs. Nothing, however, has changed the age-old need for graphic designers to negotiate and meet deadlines and budgets. Legal tools for protecting their work have assumed a new urgency. Help is here. Attorney Tad Crawford and design industry professional Eva Doman Bruck have fully revised and expanded the industry classic Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers, third edition, to help graphic designers organize and promote their businesses as well as minimize legal vulnerability.
“The knowledge and use of good business practices are essential for the success of any professional or company, including the graphic designer and the design firm,” the authors observe. “The forms contained in this book deal with the most important business transactions that a designer or firm is likely to undertake.”
Copublished with the Graphic Artists Guild, Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers contains all of the essential business and legal forms today’s successful graphic designers need. Step-by-step instructions, advice on standard and contractual provisions, and unique negotiation checklists are presented to guide designers in achieving the best results. All of the forms are included on a CD-ROM to aid in customizing for use in the daily practice of the design business.
Thorough discussions of contractual issues relevant to the industry make this a must-read for any designer—established or just starting out—who is seeking the path to success.
