CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a portfolio easier to navigate without mislabeling a person or losing the original.

For work involving authorized creative images, proposed descriptions, and collection groupings, start with the authorized source and confirm the scope before anyone acts. Prepare searchable descriptions and group suggestions for an image owner to inspect. Images may contain identifiable people, private locations, copyrighted material, or sensitive context. Confirm rights and consent, avoid sensitive inferences, check descriptions against the image, remove unnecessary location metadata, restrict access, preserve originals, and require the owner to approve tags or moves before they affect a shared collection.

Keep in mind

Images may contain identifiable people, private locations, copyrighted material, or sensitive context. Confirm rights and consent, avoid sensitive inferences, check descriptions against the image, remove unnecessary location metadata, restrict access, preserve originals, and require the owner to approve tags or moves before they affect a shared collection.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document rights, licenses, and consent

Track ownership, attribution, subject permissions, commercial scope, and permitted channels.

Set rules for edited or illustrative media

Decide when altered, fictional, or representative material needs a clear label.

Restrict references and drafts

Use limited access and remove unnecessary intermediate files when the work is complete.

Keep publication with the creative owner

Require a named person to approve each asset, caption, audience, and destination.
