Hello,
I work at a large printers and am I currently taking on design work too. I have been asked to design & print graphics for a client's offices that consist of images of celebrities along with quotes from them.
The client may also produce photos of the finished offices with the graphics on in an internal newsletter.
As I understand, from my client's point of view the celebrity images are being used in a NON-COMMERCIAL way, therefore 'editorial'.
Where do I stand on this? As I am using the images for prints that are then sold to my client?
If a release is needed for the images, would it be me who needs the release or my client?
If a release is NOT needed, am I restricted to using images from specific sources (e.g. iStock etc) or can I use any that I come across on the internet?
Just don't want to get in trouble, or more importantly get my client in trouble, by using images I shouldn't.
Your swift advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
