December 14, 2007, Newsletter Issue #120: Modelīs Release

Tip of the Week

This is a practice that can often be overlooked by a freelance graphic designer. Using a Modelīs Release Form gives you protection from lawsuits and angry responses from models. Include a statement that the model may include a "distorted representation" to cover any limitations to your design. A blue face to represent cold may be ideal, but if your model doesnīt think so, you may have to start over.

If you hire a photographer, make sure they also have modelīs releases with the work you have assigned.
