Hi, This is my first post on here although lately I've been reading lots of threads and found it to be a friendly and informative place.
I was wondering if anybody could offer me some guidance? I am very new to design and illustration on the pc and would like to do simple cartoon style animals etc for stickers.
I am enjoying creating but I absolutely do not want to break any copyright, trademark laws or infringe on anyone's hard work.
I think I know the basics about brands and intellectual property, but if I create an image from my own ideas or photos it may still look like something, somewhere that someone created, I have started doing reverse image checks on Google but is that enough?
Its probably a very naive question but how likely is it to happen and what checks and safeguards can I take to avoid this happening?
Thanks in advance for reading
