New Class: Intellectual Property and Law

Intellectual Property and Law

The Facts of Life as a Designer! 


In this class we will be covering a great deal of important information that will be beyond beneficial.  Covering things like common business practices including finance, accounting, insurance, taxes, management, marketing, and negotiation. I'm pretty excited about learning about copyright, and basic business and contract law.

I completed my first discussion where we are talking about " What are the pros and cons of eliminating intellectual property laws?" I'm enjoying what many of my classmates are posting about the pros and cons!

  2. You'll have the ability to build probably most likely probably the most logical, thorough, complete, and helpful website within the united states . states for that products or services however when it's a bland, derivative, replica within the other sites within your product search, all your other effort in building the site will most likely constitute little use. Virtually every web site design service within the united states . states will promise a unique, original custom website. Sadly, unless of course obviously clearly you have the ability to recognize, direct and demand the noticeably unique website you'd imagine and deserve, the possibilities of you obtaining the one factor you need from most web-site designers is not so excellent. They lack creativeness.
