That’s a great idea, thanks :)

I just pulled my back and broke my hips reading this, it made me feel so old 👴🏻

This is all very helpful, thank you :)

Any Creative Commons license will require the festival to list a credit for your work. That might not be an issue for the app or website, but the festival might not be interested in listing “poster by Tippon, used under a Creative Commons 4.0 license” every time they use something you created on social media, in print, or advertising.

I didn’t know about that. I thought they might have to credit me, but didn’t know that it would need to be on the work itself. I definitely don’t want that. I hadn’t thought about third parties either. I doubt that anyone would try to rip us off, but I don’t want to leave that door open either, just in case.

I’m not overly concerned with future clients, as I’m medically retired and just doing this as a learning exercise. There’s a tiny chance that I might get future work from this, but I’m more concerned with not cutting myself off from using the website / app template if I was to fall out with the festival at some point. As you say though, I don’t want to leave either me or the festival open to having the content stolen either.

I’ve just realised that I need to double check how to handle third party images too. We have some local businesses who support the festival, so we use their logos as links on the site. If I include them in the repository, I don’t want to accidentally give them away.

I’ve got some reading to do! :D

This is a good point, thank you :)

I was thinking along the lines of not restricting myself from using my own work in the future, but I hadn’t thought about third parties being able to use it too. I’m not concerned about other people using the code behind the website, for example. I’m still learning, so it’s probably more spaghetti than anything decent, but @jqubed@lemmy.world pointed out in their reply, I wouldn’t be able to stop anyone from using graphics etc.

That’s brilliant, thank you :)

This is very helpful, thank you both :)

I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.

I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)

I’m Welsh, and my wife is a Welsh speaker, and we both missed that one 🙈🤣

There’s an extension for Firefox and maybe Chrome that should help. I think it’s called ClearURL, or something similar. It removes the trackers from the ends of URLs

EDIT: That’s assuming that it’s a legitimate tracking URL, and not something that’s been added by malware.
