Paranoia & Pinkhair
Hey, have you ever thought about how artists like us could keep our designs safe from copycats or hacks? I’m always worried my work might just vanish.
Sure, the first rule is never to post your raw work online until you’re ready to give it away. Use watermarks, low‑res previews, and, if you can, embed a hidden digital signature. Then, file your originals in encrypted archives—password‑protected, of course. If someone copies your style, at least they can’t claim your exact vector files. And honestly, the best protection is to keep pushing that edge; if your work is fresh and bold, people will notice the difference, not just the copy.
That’s a solid plan, but I still worry about the tiny chance someone slips through. Better to keep a backup everywhere and double‑check every file before we release it, just to be safe.
