After reading the resource articles on the copyrights and Design I had reflected on some of my early work before I started Communication Design. Originally, I worked with images that I saw on the internet without a care because I wasn’t going to post it up. When showing it to friend I would say that I found the actual image from this site and this user. Eventually when I got to doing graphic more seriously, I went and looked for free use or my own work to try and make graphics. If I had to use work, I would go to site like Unsplash and Pexal and in a talk about my design I would give credit to where I had found the image. If there is an inspiration that help with my work I would mention where I had found my inspiration. I did especially since I wanted to use work on my portfolio and when I worked with a client, I never want them to get into legal problem due to my carelessness.

In the case of Fairey copyright, I believe if Fairey was using the image of Obama to give commentary on his feeling that as long as it wasn’t completely taking the photo without transforming that it should be considered Fair use. I believe that while the photo might have came from Associate Press Fairey had been worked on and transformed it enough that it was his own and even if he was selling it shouldn’t have resulted in him being arrested. It wasn’t Fairey being out there to try and steal from Associated Press.

In regards to the ethical guidelines discussed in the AIGA guide, some of the copywrite work I had dealt with is that I had to find out about this Font that she was planning to use for her site. In the end the supervisor had discussed this and went along with buying the license to use the font Capri. This font was exactly what she wanted to use and it would be easier to have it since it would be used for the logo design. This helps a lot since it means that we can use the font ethically and not incur a lawsuit while respecting the designer of the font.
When handling the logo of ToBeHonest I had made sure to keep with exactly the format my supervisor wanted. I listed in a brief on how it should be and the feeling and target audience to make sure that it stuck to the design. I worked on the color also matching to the color theme of her site. While working on these logos and the font I had not sign a confidentially or non-disclosure agreement with my supervisor.

Faiza Hussain’s Journey to Finding an Internship

For the first week of the internship class I had worked on trying to find an internship. It was was a long process since I had kept applying to different places from glassdoor to indeed. I also got in touch with Hashtaglifestyle to see if I could get a internship. I keep sending more application while waiting to hear back and it was a stressful experience since you want to get a certain internship but you know that you shouldn’t stop applying. For some company I was interested I had experience and didn’t wait since there was a number of different people applying for the position I wanted. I had in the end gotten in contact with a few to try and show my portfolio and work.
