Contracts checklists

1 Using the Licensing reproductions checklist

If handled sensibly and professionally, licensing can be lucrative for artists, designers and illustrators. But for it to be successful a good understanding of the licensing process is essential.

The following checklist has been devised as a tool to help users understand the purpose and content of a reproduction license.

The checklist takes the form of a series of subject headings below which are a number of questions to consider. Further explanation of the issues relating to each question can be opened and closed by clicking the icons.
