Illustration

Illustration can be graphic or stylised - it depends on the desired treatment and project.

Illustration can be commissioned for use in a brochure or often for a book cover or specialised use.

Illustration is subject to copyright.

Commissioned works of illustration

Illustrated works (a) In general terms, all illustration remains copyright to the artist and Unicorn Graphics. The client is licensed to use the illustration for the original purpose, but is not permitted to pass the illustrations onto anyone else including other designers or media, nor are they permitted to edit the drawings or illustrations.

(b) If the client wishes to purchase copyright, a fee can be negotiated, and Unicorn Graphics retains the right to use the images as portfolio samples in all kinds of media, but may not use those images for any other projects or clients. The only exception is work commissioned for Federal Government - Commonwealth, State, Territory - who then owns the copyright but permits portfolio use. This does not apply to local government.
