In this video, I'm going to answer YOUR questions about copyright in relation to children's books! In this video:
- Can I use Canva elements in my children's book?
- Do I need to register my book for copyright?
- Do I need to credit Canva or Canva artists?
- Do I need to include a copyright page in my book?
- In KDP, should I check the box that says "I own the copyright and I hold the necessary publishing rights"?

God bless you, thank you so much for this video and put me at ease and gave me the push that I need to move forward with my creative work using Canva. I felt so held back because I felt guilty since I didn’t know all the information that you are telling me now, which was making me second-guess every single thing. So again thank you so much. I hope that God somehow gives you back as much as you just helped me and so many other people. This was highly informative canvas needs to pay you if they are not lol. I hope you’re having a great day.

This was super helpful. I am curious about one thing though, if I had a pro account at one point when creating the designs, and when exporting it to my computer, but have since cancelled my pro account, would I still legally be able to publish the book using the designs that are made with some of the pro account graphics?

@HeatherCashArt 3 месяца назад

Yes! When you exported that design you were granted a license for it. The thing you couldn't do is use one of those elements in a NEW design, but the design you already made is still good 👍

@nancygarcia671 6 месяцев назад

Hi Heather, Thank you for this great video, it is very very helpful. I am working on some of my own illustrations for my book ( main characters) but I am also using some canva art. I have a canva pro account. How should I word the cover of my book regarding the illustrated by section.

@HeatherCashArt 6 месяцев назад

Ooh I'm not sure... Personally I would try to illustrate all of it so that you can say "words and art by..." or something similar. Maybe inside the book you can say, main character illustrations by... But yeah it does get weird with the wording when you only do part of it.

You could just do "by Christina Briggs" or "story by Christina Briggs" and just don't mention illustrations

@morgandtv8380 4 месяца назад

I do have a question about the Magic tool on canva. Do you need to mention the AI elements in your book? I couldn’t quite understand what it was saying about it.

@HeatherCashArt 4 месяца назад

If you're using AI to generate elements for your book, then you need to disclose it. If you're only using AI to edit (like to remove the background, change colors, etc) then you don't need to disclose. Also, you do need to be sure that anything you generate with AI does not infringe on anyone else's copyright. For example, if you tell AI to generate a mouse, and it generates Micky Mouse, and you use that in your book, you are infringing on Disney's copyright.

@user-fo9tt2nm9c 4 месяца назад

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for this! Wonderfully clear. I was wondering about using an element multiple times. I created a children’s book on Canva and used one designer's graphics a lot, in different settings. I am not quite sure if that is an issue. Also I wonder, if I have a page with my words and just on element, that would be standalone and not okay, right? Thanks for the good information!

@HeatherCashArt 4 месяца назад

Hi! You are totally ok using an element multiple times. You are issued a new license each time you use the element in your design. I believe I mentioned that in the video. For the pages with a single element plus text, if the text is its own thing and not part of the design, you're probably better off adding something to the design, like if it's a character, add a hat or something. Something to make it uniquely yours. Hope that helps!

@user-fo9tt2nm9c 4 месяца назад

@@HeatherCashArt Thank you so much! Yes that helps! I understood that I can only use the element in one Canva design if I sell it. My book will be a series, so one element is always showing up, in every book. Somewhere it said that I can use one design only once to sell it. I am so confused on all these rights and I don't want to be banned of KDP until I even started. :-)

@banjobaebee Месяц назад

Thank you very much for this! Would the new magic studio for creating art, which uses AI, still fall under the same category, or would that fall under the same issue as using AI on other websites? I am also wondering, please, when writing who illustrated the book (like on the cover, etc.) , how would I word that if the illustrations are created using canva or if part of canva is used to create it or edit it? Thank you!

@HeatherCashArt Месяц назад

Hi! If you use Magic Studio then you are using AI, which is whole other thing - I have a video on it, "Can I use AI for my children's book?" For illustration credit, you would just leave that part out. You don't want to say you illustrated it because that would mean you drew the illustrations by hand. You can just say "story by" or "written by". Hope that helps!

@Kiki-dx7jm 29 дней назад

Great video! Thanks so much for the information. I am considering using a Canva free element (gift box) on the cover of my book. It would be this one element in addition to other illustrations (from an artist - non Canva). I've altered the image by adding some highlights, drawing some additional outlines, adding some shading. Would you think that using just one element would be acceptable, or do I need to add another element or alter the image even more? Sorry for the long question. Thanks so much!

@HeatherCashArt 28 дней назад

Hi! If it's in addition to the other illustrations then you're definitely ok! Plus on top of that you altered it as well. Yep you are good 👍

If you use a single pro image for your book, but add text to the page with the image does that work legally in your opinion? Or would I have to use multiple pro images in addition to the text? I wasn't sure if only having text would make the image be considered "standalone"

@HeatherCashArt 17 дней назад

I think it's kind of a grey area... I would add at least one other element just to be safe.
