When using other people's design elements, you do need to be careful to avoid infringing copyright or other intellectual property rights. Here are a few workarounds that can help you reduce the risk of infringement without authorization: 1. **Borrow, not copy**: Get inspiration from the general idea instead of directly copying specific design elements. Make sure your work is original enough. 2. **Change proportions and details**: Change the color, shape, proportion, details, etc. in your design to make it clearly different from the original work. 3. **Mix multiple sources**: Combine elements from multiple different sources to create a new design, making sure that the final work is not exactly the same as any single source. 4. **Research the public domain**: Use materials that have expired copyright or are clearly marked as public domain. This can effectively avoid copyright disputes. 5. **Use open source or free materials**: Look for materials marked with open licenses (such as Creative Commons) and follow the relevant terms of use. 6. **Consult legal experts**: When in doubt, consult an intellectual property lawyer who can provide targeted advice. 7. **Design your own unique style**: Establish a unique design style to enhance the originality of your work, thereby reducing the risk of infringement due to similarity. Even with these measures, there is no 100% guarantee against infringement charges, so be careful and strive to obtain the necessary authorization when possible.
