Intro to Digital Design

Introduction

This lesson contains an overview of digital design processes and career opportunities. How do digital designers transform ideas into products?

A design process is every digital designer’s path from an original idea to the finished product. Let’s say a potential client contacts you and requests a proposal for their updated digital newsletter design. You will have to research the requirements and expectations, develop a prototype, and then create a product.

It’s what digital designers do every day – transform business ideas into digital products! That’s why every business needs digital design services at some point and, thus, there are plenty of career opportunities for people interested in digital design.

Digital design involves creating products and, therefore, work is protected by copyright rights.

• How do copyright laws protect digital designers?
• Who owns the copyright if digital designers are hired to create a project?

All digital design content is protected by copyright and cannot be used without permission. However, it depends on business arrangements who owns the copyright. Typically, digital designers employed on a full-time basis to create digital content do not own the copyright. Instead, copyright rights belong to the employer. However, if work is created as part of a temporary contract, copyright rights are often negotiable.
