I'm looking at getting a form which I can get a client to sign so that I can use graphics that I make for them in my own promotions etc. If anybody has any such release forms which they use and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love a copy. Thanks, Kim

Kim, There is a book that is full of this type of thing and I have found it to be invaluable (although it doesn't take the place of a real lawyer). It is called THE MULTIMEDIA LAW HANDBOOK. It is published by Ladera Press and is authored by J.Dianne Brinson and Mark F. Radcliffe. ISBN 0-9639173-0-7. The book sells for $74.95. Check it out or see if your local library has it. Great book! Hope this helps, Dean Oliver Virtually Real
