CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Avoid making a fabricated selfie look like proof of a real meeting or endorsement.

For authorized work involving proposed images depicting recognizable public figures in staged scenes, prepare a clearly identified creative concept for review using only references authorized for that purpose. A realistic image can imply a false relationship, event, or endorsement and may misuse a person’s likeness. Obtain appropriate permission, clear image and publicity rights, label fictional or altered scenes, never fabricate an endorsement, and require a rights owner to approve the exact image and audience before sharing. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
