Could you please contact me via PM? I'm trying to put together some various contracts, and want to reference them to make sure I don't miss anything. I'd even be willing to PayPal you a small fee if necessary. Please let me know!

While on the topic, any recommendations for "how to write basic contracts"?

The following contact will be necessary:
The transfer of ownership / rights from an artist(s) to another (myself), covering such thngs as the right of ownership, reproduction, contract length, when the artist may release the design / reuse the conceptual idea, fees, etc.

Thank you!

If you do a quick google for "design contract" or "contracts for graphic designers" you will come up with a bunch of hits. I found one that might be helpful:

"Standard Form of Agreement for Graphic Design Services"

Here's a link to an article about it:

Thank you very much!

Still looking for one. The modular contract is very nice, but I want to make a checklist of sorts. I know someone on here has had their design(s) choosen!

Hmm, cool - who?

The owner of Mr. Funkleberry -- though I don't know if he gets around here anymore. I sent him off an e-mail, hopefully he'll be willing to help.

I loved his site I recall

His last post was November last year, and last login June this year, so not particularly by the looks of things.

I had forgotten about that site. Mostly not my kind of thing, but some good finishing touches.

Good luck getting a copy of the contract. If none of this turns up leads, you could try contacting some of the more accessible Threadless regulars who've had shirts printed.

Not sure how well his site's going, as the limited edition shirts are still there a year later, no update to the friend's pages, and his prices have been slashed to about where we recommended to start with (GBP35 down to GBP17, shipping cut too). Still too expensive IMO.

And looking about, probably because his search engine saturation is awful.

Thanks. I'm hoping someone will chime in and do me the favor. It's just nice to have a reference ya know? I'm sure I could put together a "suitable" contract. But with all legal things, the more professional the better.

You need people who have had their designs printed by Threadless or choosed for display and scoring?

I have some designs on threadless and I've asked a question here on the forum if anyone else has some designs submited there, to share some opinions but no one responded.

Hey Gil,

Printed. As I need a copy of the contact Threadless made them sign / abide by. Though no one has come through thus far. Sad panda.

 

[m26gil]

We'll wait and see... maybe someone will show up on the forum or maybe I will get picked up by Threadless who knows?!

 

[guest5779]

Bump! Still looking!

I don't know if you're still interested in this, but if you are, there's no special contract. Everyone who submits a design must check the "Legal Terms" in order to do so. It's all in there. The designer of a winning submission actually keeps ownership of the design but forfeits the right to reproduce it on clothing.

I hope that helps.
