Awesome compilation! “Best of” material!
Thanks!!!
A few of my classmates put all their illustration work onto facebook in photo albums and I was wondering if this is a good way to go? A few of them have been approached about jobs because of this, however when you put images on facebook, you have to tick a box that gives them complete ownership of the images to be used for whatever they want. So I was wondering what people thought about this, is it a good idea? Or will it just cause problems?
Any thoughts anyone has on this matter would be of a great help to me.
Kind Regards.
