Hi my name is David. I am the course leader for Art Business. I have taught at BCU for over 24 years, working in Graphic Communication, Animation, Fine Art and Art and Design with Creative Technologies.

I am an educator, researcher, practitioner and a father.

I have chosen an electronic keycard to represent my future ambitions. A keycard is versatile, it can contain many pieces of information that can be used to share or open doors. As a keycard, I aim to use my research to open new areas of study for my own work on an international platform, including publishing my Monograph book. A keycard can also empower others and give them access to new and sometimes restricted areas.

Copyright protects your work and stops others from using it without your permission.

You get copyright protection automatically - you don't have to apply or pay a fee. There isn't a register of copyright works in the UK.

You automatically get copyright protection when you create:

original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, including illustration and photography

original non-literary written work, such as software, web content and databases

sound and music recordings

film and television recordings

broadcasts

the layout of published editions of written, dramatic and musical works

You can mark your work with the copyright symbol (©), your name and the year of creation. Whether you mark the work or not doesn't affect the level of protection you have.

Copyright prevents people from:

copying your work

distributing copies of it, whether free of charge or for sale

renting or lending copies of your work

performing, showing or playing your work in public

making an adaptation of your work

putting it on the internet

Your work could be protected by copyright in other countries through international agreements, for example the Berne Convention.

In most countries copyright lasts a minimum of life plus 50 years for most types of written, dramatic and artistic works, and at least 25 years for photographs. It can be different for other types of work.

Contact the IPO Information Centre if you have a question about international copyright.

This service will be unavailable from 11:45pm on Friday 13 October to 10pm on Sunday 15 October.

You can register your trade mark to protect your brand, for example the name of your product or service.

When you register your trade mark, you'll be able to:

take legal action against anyone who uses your brand without your permission, including counterfeiters

put the ® symbol next to your brand - to show that it's yours and warn others against using it

sell and license your brand

A trade mark lasts 10 years. You must renew your trade mark every 10 years for it to stay in force.

What you can register

Your trade mark can include:

What you cannot register

Your trade mark cannot:

be offensive, for example contain swear words or pornographic images

describe the goods or services it will relate to, for example the word 'cotton' cannot be a trade mark for a cotton textile company

be misleading, for example use the word 'organic' for goods that are not organic

be too common and non-distinctive, for example a statement like 'we lead the way'

be just a generic shape associated with your business, for example if you sell apples you cannot trade mark the shape of an apple

make use of national flags you do not have permission to use

make use of official emblems or hallmarks, for example coats of arms

You may not be able to register your trade mark if it's the same as, or similar to, a trade mark of another business that sells the same goods or services.

Watch a short video about trade marks (2 minutes).

What it costs

Registering a trade mark costs at least £170. It will usually cost more depending on your circumstances, for example how many types of goods or services you want to protect your brand in.

The application process

You must send details of your trade mark and the goods or services you want to use your trade mark on to the Intellectual Property Office ( IPO).

You can send your application online or by post.

The IPO will:

check that your trade mark is not the same as, or similar to, any existing trade marks

publish details of your application in the journal, in case anybody wants to oppose it

If there are any issues the IPO will let you know. You will have to resolve them before you can register your trade mark.

If there are no issues, it usually takes around 3 to 4 months from application for your trade mark to be granted.

View a timeline of the process.

Register your trade mark overseas

Registering a trade mark in the UK only protects your brand in the UK and the Isle of Man.

There are different processes for:

Shropshire based artist and illustrator.

My work is shot through with a vivid inky thread of conversational energy, detail and movement, whether or not words are part of the image.

Organic and idiosyncratic, my work's inspired by the penmanship of a more elegant era, but with a muscular grasp of experimentation and a healthy distrust of the rules.

An early pioneer of hand-drawn type and 'lettering as image', ink runs through my veins, with equal love for pixel-only creations, live art, big walls, logos, sculpture, built objects, wearable pieces - and hundreds of book covers.

Frequently Asked (real) Questions

I've had the tremendous pleasure of working with Sarah Coleman on a number of occasions over the last few years and she never ceases being impressive, and a whole lot of fun to work with. Not only is she super-talented and highly-skilled, but it seems that her diversity of projects knows absolutely no bounds-even having known her for a good few years now, there is always more to discover with her various undertakings. Sarah could be summed up easily as either incredible or amazing; both would apply to her.

~ Tony Harmer, The Design Ninja / Adobe

I've spent a lifetime immersed in words, with hundreds of book projects to my name. I spend my days illustrating, blogging, reading, talking in schools and colleges, and in an ongoing series of extra-curricular ventures with my partner Leigh including, over the years, a chocolate enterprise, pop-up restaurant, vinyl accessories company, gallery, record label and wedding stationery company - and two busy little . shops

When I'm not doing all that, you can find me throwing iron around in the gym, greedily taking in ghost stories or looking after our fleet of unusual Japanese cars (look for @inkymolesmotors on Instagram). radio!

And following a not-so-secret past in pirate radio, I love doing

Working with Sarah has been the favourite professional collaboration of my career. She is the best kind of professional-talented, diligent, and always cheery. Sarah has illustrated twenty-six of my stories, and for each of them-each of them!-she's managed to craft an illustration that makes my story look even better than it did at the start.

I love working with Sarah because her work does what every writer hopes an illustrator's work will do-it lifts my work. Every time.

​

Working with Sarah is always a pleasure. An immensely creative artist, she consistently reaches for new heights and is continually innovating and expanding her visual vocabulary, which brings new energy and knowledge to each project. Looking forward to our next collaboration.

About the book

Download the cover, author photo, and flip through the book in the blogger kit.

ISBN: 9780761169253 | Foreign Translations | Ordering FAQ

When I was asked to talk to students at a community college in upstate New York in 2011, I sat down and wrote a talk based on a list of 10 things I wished I'd heard when I was starting out:

1. Steal like an artist.

2. Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

3. Write the book you want to read.

4. Use your hands.

5. Side projects and hobbies are important.

6. The secret: do good work and share it with people.

7. Geography is no longer our master.

8. Be nice. (The world is a small town.)

9. Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)

10. Creativity is subtraction.

The text and slides from the talk "rocked the creative world" () and went viral. I expanded the post into a book-length work stuffed full of brand-new writing and illustrations, published by Workman Publishing in February 2012.

The book now has over half a million copies in print and has been translated into over twenty-seven languages.

1. Established in the 1960s by Mollie Randle and John English (Husband) who wanted to create a local arts centre for young people. The council therefore granted them land in Canon Hill Park. Since then, it has undergone a 15 million pound regeneration and extension.

2. The MAC does lots of charity and community work with art, design and movement at the core of it’s focus. It supports local artists, local communities of any social and ethnic background. With student support and experience available as well as health and wellness aid from young to old. It offers safe spaces, working environments, classes and teaching, events and celebrations and a chance to connect with nature and others.

3. Pottery, yoga, health and fitness, dance, crafts, textiles, sculpture, print, photography, film, digital arts and cinema. (Outdoor and indoor)

4. It’s organisers are volunteers young to old, students, artists, teams, the board, freelancers and community members.

5. It’s members are the foundation and centre of it’s structure. Then there is workers, volunteers, people with all varied skills, cooks, cafes, organisers, management and outsiders.

7. A team for each section.

8. It’s income comes from donations, charity, courses, shop/merch, cafe, tickets, drink, sponsors, collaborators and rent. If it appeals to all people they will want to support it: religious groups, accessible.

9. Its cultural and social value is that it has a very strong community sense, it focuses on inclusion and accessibility. It enriches the area away from the busy centre and so has a different dynamic and space, something different. ‘Cradle to grave’.

10. Jewellery and art market, prayer rooms, sari and fashion show exhibit and publications. The warmer months bring more of the outdoor spaces being used like the theatre and play areas.

11. EVERYONE

12. 1 million customers a year.

13. The MAC is marketed through pamphlets, social media, arts centre focus and website. Also through word of mouth.

15. Cross Campus Gems, Flavour and Frequency, supporting curation through SOA, all of us would benefit and bring more to it’s team through all out expertise and skills.
