Getty Images partners with Perplexity for image licensing

The licensing conversation isn’t new. But in 2025, it’s never been more urgent. With millions of photos captured every minute and AI imagery flooding the market, the risk is clear. Without licensing, creative work becomes disposable. Licensing does more than protect ownership. It safeguards value, keeps pricing transparent, and ensures professional standards hold their ground. In our new report, we share how photographers and clients are navigating contracts, usage terms, and compensation in 2025. It’s a benchmark for anyone working in today’s creative industry. 📖 Download the full report: https://lnkd.in/dzKX_r5D

Balzer + Bray (an imprint of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group) rolled out an ad set featuring multiple imprint titles, each with unique stories to tell and gorgeous cover art. But the only unifying element was a semi-consistent title format. How do you define a digital ad campaign with only that? type:set started with a title lock-up that played off the already established Balzer + Bray brand by emphasizing the double "B" and “+” of the logo… Learn more about this project by visiting the type:set portfolio: https://lnkd.in/eBneNZhk

I recently tried Sora 2 with an invite code. Aside from copyright considerations, I find it remarkable. Some artistic details—such as AI-specific characteristics in eye illustrations—remain, but the realism for human depiction is already very high. With improvements in physical simulation and synchronized audio, Sora 2 has clear potential for practical applications, from architectural visualization and virtual try-on in e-commerce to cutting-edge research and production workflows. This feels like a meaningful step forward for how people will create and experience visual and audio content.

We often get approached by authors and content creators about creating original character designs and animations for their projects so they can sell them to a publishing house or media company. One piece of advice I always share is to hold onto your IP rights so you own them forever. The real long-term value isn’t in book sales or a board game— it’s in the characters, the merch and the licensing opportunities they create. The piece they’re trying to get made is really just the first step in building a larger brand and world around their characters.
