HOW CAN I START A BUSINESS WITH MY DESIGNS?

We live in Denver. My daughter is really gifted when it comes to creation designs. I was suggesting her to begin her own business, putting her designs upon t-shirts, mugs, notebooks, etc. Her friends during propagandize (she is the comparison in HS) adore what she draws. My subject is, what have been the stairs to do this? Copyright? Publisher? Brands of things? I have no thought where to start. Anybody can give us a little advice? Thanks!

One of the quickest ways to start a business with your designs is to sign-up for free at http://www.cafepress.com

Start building your business then start looking at what you want to copyright, brand, etc.

Go to the library and learn what to do to start a graphics based business. anything you do to excel at this will pay off in the long run by not getting cheated by B S ‘ers who pray on the unsuspecting genius of the unknowing. The librarian will even help. I do not know how drawings work but originals will need to be made into plates to print reproductions so I would after the plates are made send the original via registered mail to yourself and sign for it but never ever open it that way if your art gets copied (unauthorized) you can sue and let the judge open the never opened mail showing the date of origination. somehow start numbering your works and file store all designs numerically so when mailing originals you can have them numbered to keep all others from being opened and loose the seal proving the art is yours being copied by others. then seek a corporate business lawyer, tax accountant, partner up with a screen printer who will be your subcontractor, then go back to the library and check out a marketing book and a sales book
