Are you a creative, sharing and showing your work but you aren't really sure about your intellectual property? Your creative work is your intellectual property and therefore of value.

The guidance on copyright and the various design rights provided in the Amanya course on Intellectual Property cuts through to the underlying legal principles whilst simultaneously providing a practical insight which will be of great use to any designers seeking to improve their knowledge of intellectual property. 

The guide offers a concise summary of the key elements of each right and anyone who reads it will walk away with a renewed understanding of their rights and how to protect them.

An informative and practical guide for anyone who is seeking to enhance their knowledge of intellectual property. 

Regardless of the size of your business, the nature of the goods it supplies or the services it provides, your business will create and as a consequence, it will own some forms of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). The three key forms of IPRs for any commercial Artist or Designer to be aware of are rights in trade marks, rights in designs, and copyright.

Unfortunately, all of these IPRs are far from easy to understand, nor are they easy to apply to real-life, the complexity is exacerbated by the overlap created by these IPRs in certain situations.

However, help is at hand, and this Beginners Guide to Intellectual Property for Artists and Designers is a great place to start in order to begin and cement your awareness of the issues, and to build a foundation of your understanding. 

The various examples taken from the archives of case law will also assist in your understanding of how the various IPRs are applied by the Courts.

The Beginners Guide to Intellectual Property for Artists and Designer is such a time and money saving resource! I will return to it again and again. I recommend it as a valuable investment that will save you so much hassle and money. 

As a designer of unique acoustic finishes for interior spaces, this course has been super helpful to obtain a comprehensive overview regarding Intellectual Property - an essential for each creative designer.

The thing I found most helpful was the demystification of a very complex subject. I now know where to go and what to do with regard to current design work, and even more importantly how to plan future design ideas. 

Thank you Anna for this insightful resource for the creative community. I recommend it wholeheartedly and encourage each to check it out for yourself.

I've had an amazing experience with this course.

IP is really a tricky subject yet a really important one for us creative people and this course is a very beautifully crafted learning tool.

Although the content is a bit complex, it has been presented in a light yet thoroughly engaging manner. I particularly enjoyed the structure and the visual aids, not relying so much on text.

Will also give a shout out to Anna's very soothing voice.

To young and emerging designers, it is really crucial to understand intellectual property and the issues that surround it. Quite unfortunately, it is often brushed over and given little to no attention at all. I found the Amanya course on intellectual property protection very insightful and helpful.

It has given me a very well needed introduction to the world of IP and equipped me with a lot of crucial knowledge around what I need to be aware of and do in relation to my creations. The course offers guidance on what we need to do to safeguard our work and provides insightful advice on our conduct when using other peoples work.

It shines a light into the legal side of design and helps designers be more aware of how they can help prevent their hard work from being disrespected, misused or even stolen. This course is most definitely a powerful introduction to intellectual property and would certainly recommend it to all designers, young and seasoned.

This is a detailed and comprehensive course on file types and sizes. Anna presents it in a way that makes everything simple to understand even when there is a lot of jargon about.

I liked how it was broken down into small bite size chunks and you can progress at your own speed.

I found the content on the difference between use for print and for digital display particularly helpful along with the detailed explanation on each file type.

I would recommend this for anyone wanting to learn more about file types and sizes.

There are so many apps out there it can be a minefield. Especially if you’re working in a full time job and have a side hustle, there is no time to figure it all out. This course was fantastic in identifying some useful tools that are user friendly and free to help, even if you’re not an artist or even in business. Amanya takes you through step by step all you can use the app for and how to get started in popular uses. I even learnt a new use for an app I use very often!

The course is easy to understand and put into practice for yourself, and well worth the price. Thank you Amanya Design!

As a photographer, social media is an integral part of my work. It can be seriously challenging and overwhelming to find all the best tools to utilise the social space in the best way for my business.

I found the Amanya courses to be an absolute fountain of knowledge, they have helped me get a good grip on where to look and what to use. They are very well researched, written, recorded and presented in an easy to use format, and at affordable prices too. Thank you Amanya!

As a creative freelancer working in the theatre and arts sector, design software, social media and communication platforms are key to my working processes.

The Amanya course was great for me on several levels; some areas introduced me to new and exciting options of software to incorporate into my working processes, whilst some of the other tutorials helped me to refresh up on tools and skills. All of which will be very useful for me to increase efficiency in the future.

The courses are well presented, easy to follow and extremely useful. Thank you Amanya Design!

Hi, I’m Anna Brewin. I did my degree in Textile Design at the University of Huddersfield in Yorkshire, UK, and have expanded my work into Graphics and Surface Pattern and worked for a number of years doing freelance work using my various skills. 

I have been developing my business into new areas over the last few years as I've been working with Print on Demand companies, following receiving some funding from the Department of International Trade. 

I have taught art classes in the past but designing online classes has been a whole new area for me and something that has taken me by surprise as I have loved it. 

I hope the lessons I have been learning along the way can help you too.
