Referring to the part about "we will reserve the rights to take further action", what can they do realistically? Keep in mind I was not shown a confidentiality agreement and I never signed anything. Is it an empty threat? The assignment btw was in no way tied to any specific IP either. The brief was very open-ended.…
I can't say that that is an uncommon line. On the one hand most lawyers will probably suggest having it in there to cover all bases (legal language always sounds harsh as it is ment to leave no doubt how far they CAN go), but actually many companies don't want their art tests to be shared so that they can re-use them and…
you can ask for a portfolio review here. plenty of professional artist can probably identify shortcomings. doesn't mean it's same reason this employer turned you down, but that's water under bridge
I like @slosh approach of having your portfolio for recruitment with these pieces behind a password, or bringing up a few pieces during interview time if asked for. I'm not too sure how NDA's work in such situations, likely more a don't ask don't tell approach. If anything I wish there was more transparency in workplace…
It's actually a few concept art pieces that I'd theoretically be putting in my portfolio. But anyways I wasn't really intending to go through with it. This is more just a question I ask coming from a place of curiosity. Also I don't want to talk to them personally right now because I'm still awaiting the results of the…
Disregarding legal ramifications, is the reward of putting the model in portfolio greater than potential risk of starting some kind of feud with these people? That's why I am suggest you talk to them personally. And regarding legal ramifications, I do believe there is such thing as an implied agreement, or some language…
True. Unfortunately the struggle to find a job in this field is real and I feel like I don't have many options. In my previous job the management side of the studio left much to be desired as well but working with the art team more than made up for it. So I'm always hoping that to be the case...
You mean to say in the case that I would want to apply to them again at a later stage? That's true, it would most likely be a dealbreaker for them in terms of considering my application again if they know that I had posted my art test. Legally though, I'm not sure how they could enforce something I never officially agreed…
