If you’re an artist or an illustrator, you’ll find the need for legal documents from time to time. Docracy is an online collection of open source, legal contracts that makes for great templates for whatever you need. I’ve checked and there’s quite a few in there for artists so be sure to bookmark this resource! And best of all, if you don’t find the one that you’re looking for, you can request for one too.
Here’s a few contracts you can start off with:
- Standard Agreement for Design Services – Print Works, limited license by AIGA
- Publishing Agreement between an author and a publisher
- Independent Contractor Agreement (Designers) (Ross Kimbarovsky’s “contract for designers who hate contracts”)
