A contract is an agreement, whether oral or written, whereby two parties bind themselves to certain obligations. This glossary simply explains what the clauses in your contracts mean. The media that conveys your design can take many forms. Print media means the final design is printed from a press in the form of a book or magazine.
Electronic media means it goes out in digital form, such as a CD or multimedia presentation.
Television, radio and internet are other examples of media. Each one of these areas are valuable and worth compensation to the graphic artist. The artist, in exchange for that fee, gives up any and all interest in, and control over, the use of the image. The artist is prohibited from reselling the artwork and the company who buys the art can sell and make money off of your work without any compensation to you. The all-rights contract claims the right to use the image, in every type of medium, for all time.
