I'm a professional graphic designer, new to freelancing, and I am preparing a proposal for an identity project. The project includes a logo, a business card design, and an electronic letterhead template.
I am going to transfer the copyright of the logo to the client but I'm wondering whether or not I should assign copyright of the business card design and letterhead template as well or instead provide an exclusive license?
I don't plan to copy or reuse the design of the business cards and letterhead template for another client, but business cards and letterhead often look pretty similar and I wouldn't want to be accused of infringement for creating a similar layout for another project.
I'm in basically the same business situation you are. I would transfer the copyright of the final design for all the stationery pieces to the client upon final payment. Any unused comps, however, remain your copyright.
The brand/ID will belong to the client, and the client may use another designer to do other work with the identity, so the client should own the copyright to all their own branding (once they've paid you for it).
This is rather dependent upon legislation and custom, both depending upon your location. I can only speak for the Netherlands, where it's usually the case that you retain the copyright for everything you make. The contract specifies that, upon completion, the customer obtains a license to use the product in ways it was originally intended.
In short, I'd grant a license in the case you present. It's safest, enables you to use the work in your portfolio without any problems and indeed protects you from your customer should you ever design something that looks similar.
hi @SamSteele, I believe the intention of this video is to show the main process gone through in making of business card template using "Affinity Publisher". This video was around 1 hour in length so I speeded up the video. maybe on my upcoming videos, I'll improve it.
The process looks very interesting but it would have been a lot more helpful to have you talk through the process or even write instructions over the video. You can still edit out parts to reduce the time frame and/or speed up some parts of the video that don't require much attention. Perhaps you can break down the video into a few parts as well.
I liked this idea by Rebecca Harris. Her first chapter takes place in a real location, so she used a photograph from the spot on her business card. Her writing is also incredibly place-centric, so this is fitting to her work.
Depending on your confidence in your own writing, you could swap out these standard phrases for a line from your book. My fellow-alumnus Lucy van Smit used the graphic art I did for her hook line on the back of her card, and it looked nice!
While newspapers might come across as a bit dated (sorry, print!), this could be a great option depending on your genre. I love how you can get a little blurb in there (possibly with a headshot?) and use the modern scan code on the back.
In theory, any of those (plus others you haven't mentioned, like the open source alternatives Gimp and Inkscape) let you design a business card. If you are particularly proficient with one of them, you might want to consider going for that one to save time. While the three Adobe products have some similarities of use, they all require some learning time. If you have the time, I'd definitely recommend you pick one (spoilers: It's Illustrator).
InDesign's specific purpose is laying out printed materials. That's its strength, you can see it as a way of joining Photoshop and Illustrator elements into a new 'thing'. However, where it shines is with multiple pages (tools like text wrap are extremely powerful). The good thing is: It packages fonts and images all in one file, but the file size will generally also tend to be bigger, so in your case, it might be a bit of an overkill. Yes, you could use InDesign, but you will be missing drawing features.
Photoshop is best for creating and editing photos or raster images. Its main 'power' comes with its image manipulation possibilities. It is not made for printing. Think of it more as a way to edit pictures you want to then add into printing materials. So, you could use Photoshop, but then you'd have issues preparing the files for the printer.
Illustrator is used for illustrations, logos, and scalable graphics in general. It's also widely used in printing, but not for multipage documents like InDesign, as it has no support for master pages and it doesn't let you automate page numbers. Illustrator's drawing capabilities are closer to Photoshop, but 'better' for non-raster illustrations. You can do anything you can in Photoshop - illustration-wise - and you will be able to get everything ready for production in no time.
So, in short, I'd say most cards get designed in Illustrator. As Confused mentions, all printers will be happy with Illustrator files, there are plenty of examples you can follow and the result will just be, overall, better.
Lots of great answers but I'm surprised none of them have talked about batch production of business cards with data merge templates. Even if you're designing for a 2-person startup, with any luck a year or two down the line they'll be coming back to you for business cards for their 8 newly hired employees, then coming back a few years later with a much bigger budget as they open their Asia office...
Okay, maybe not at that scale... but happy recurring clients coming back for bigger variants on work they liked (delighted by your super-fast turnaround times) can really help keep the wolf from the door.
