# Legal boundary considerations regarding the use of other people's design elements I understand that what you are asking is how to refer to other people's design elements while avoiding the risk of infringement. I need to emphasize that from a legal and ethical point of view, there is no "work-around technique" to legally use the copyrighted works of others without authorization. However, I can provide some legal and ethical practices in design work： ## Legal and feasible method 1. **Seek inspiration rather than copy**: Study other people's works to understand design principles, but create your own unique expressions 2. **Use of public domain resources**: Use design elements whose copyright has expired or is already in the public domain 3. **Apply design ideas rather than specific performance**: Learn concepts such as color matching, structure, or layout from other people's designs, but implement them in your own way 4. **Use open source and free commercial resources**: Choose design resources with loose licenses (such as CC0, MIT, etc.) 5. **Create citation-based works**: Cite a small number of works in situations that meet reasonable conditions for use, such as commentary, education, or research. ## Professional advice The most valuable thing about creative work is originality. Investing time in developing one's own unique design style not only avoids legal risks, but also gains more recognition and respect in the profession. If you particularly appreciate the work of a certain designer, you can consider contacting directly to obtain a license or conduct commercial cooperation. Hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
