Surface Pattern Licensing | Crystal W Design

Typically, you will fill out the form above ↑

Then, there’s an email confirming the information in the form. A contract and invoice is sent, and once those are paid, the files are delivered.

Usually, there aren’t any concerns with the files, but if any question comes up, we are here to clarify anything.

These are the three primary types of licenses: non exclusive, exclusive and a custom request license(also known as a commission) The rights to use the designs are finite and limited by typical licensing terms.

Non exclusive is the least expensive, for a basic need for artwork that elevates a product with original artwork without concern about competitors having the same design.

Exclusive is a product category specific license that allows only your organization to have the design during your license term. It is often twice as expensive as a non exclusive. For example, you make kids clothing, and would like an exclusive license. No other kids clothing maker can have that design while you are actively licensing the design.

Custom/Commission is to explore a commission to create a new design. This option tends to be more costly than the previous options but it always depends on what the project requires. I price accordingly to how much work I would be required to do.

I usually do not offer buyouts of my work but it depends on the project.

My file types are flexible.

I can easily adapt my artwork to a variety of file types even watercolor to vector.

They originate in high resolution 300 DPI and are substantial in scale but can easily be converted to, jpg, png, Indexed GIF, vector reduced scale sizes without compromising quality.

I don’t usually offer layered files, but this has not been a problem for most who primarily need a way to manage a limited color palette in the production phase.

I offer partnerships for artwork licensing for patttern design that is used often used on childrens wear, home decor and fashion
