For some novice novice who are not very clear about it, they will always fall into some pitfalls during the process of accepting orders and making appointments. Below I have summarized a few sets of methods. For some pitfalls that can be taken, if we can take a detour, we can take a detour.
First of all, for those who need to try the draft first and then determine the cooperation, as painters, we must know how to distinguish the boundaries of the trial draft. should not be tried or cheated by others without bottom lines. In addition to signing contracts with large companies and stable formal workers, trial drafts will be required. Generally, the individual's work collection is sufficient to express the individual's ability and give Party A's judgment.
There is also the kind of people who look at the proposal or plan first, and then determine the cooperation. A proposal or plan has huge room for mining value. Since you want to hand over it, you must have corresponding value to reflect it. Just give it to someone casually and give it to you for free without any scruples, which is equivalent to ruining your path to cooperation. determines business relationships and confidentiality agreements in cooperation , which is the top priority.
The contract verification before each contract starts is very final. The settlement of the contract for the termination of the contract must be carefully checked in case your proposal has been received by the customer and then transferred to some websites or artists, so that they can do it again and become someone else's. The content of the proposal must be kept confidential and copyrighted as much as possible, such as watermarks, thumbnails, unique file formats, file encapsulation and other technologies, so that it is impossible for stolen .
Below are some tips for avoiding business manuscripts for personal and studio types. You must open your eyes and take a look~
1.Personal publishing Type
Personal authors often pay for their own expenses in publishing books. They save as much as possible in terms of cost, and they don’t necessarily understand illustrations. They like to follow their feelings. Newbie illustrators usually shed tears of regret when they collaborate. At the same time, it is also recommended that individual authors who plan to publish their own books can entrust publishers to find illustrators, so that both parties will have guarantees each other and operate more professionally.
2. Studio publishes Class
This is considered a common pit . The illustration industry has not developed for so many years, and it is inseparable from the chaos and disorder in the industry, and the studio has made great efforts in this regard. The so-called studio is actually a personal turn-up job. Generally, this so-called studio may not exist at all, so before cooperating, you must check whether the company exists, whether there are any violations, and whether it is open normally.
We must stick to our bottom line , protect our rights, such as source file (for example, Psd, of course, also includes 300 resolution Jpg, because it can already be used for printing when it reaches this resolution), 6 million should not be easily sent to the other party, especially book companies, it is best to settle the final payment before posting it. Of course, if the other party is a publishing house, the final payment should be fine, but it just took a long time to go.
There are also some big pits in contracts, , such as those , "Party A has the right to request Party B to modify until Party A is satisfied." Contracts with this clause are all hooligans. When you finish drawing, you can openly not check out , etc. ~
