"Two Copyright Flowcharts for Canadian Designers" print

My “Two Copyright Flowcharts for Canadian Designers” print is intended as a dagger in the eye of AI image generation, helping Canadian designers quickly assess the copyright status of historic photos and illustrations instead of hopping into bed with big tech and all its horrible baggage.

The central question it aims to answer: is a specific image in the public domain or not? To answer that question, you simply start at left in either chart (the top one re: photography, the bottom one re: art) and follow it to the right. Yes, you'll need to do some research along the way, but you'll also determine its copyright status quickly and efficiently. No more prompting for you—just say “yes” to searching, learning, assessing, and adding another layer of meaning and information to your project avoiding the garbage slop. 

All info within it is paraphrased from the University of Alberta Copyright Office's chart right here and Kaplan-Myrth's older chart right here, and I am not offended if you skip my charts to go straight to those (excellent) sources.
