Illustration Works subscribes to PixID Image Monitoring Service, Idée's image monitoring service for print and the Internet. Illustration Works images can now be automatically monitored worldwide.

PixID uses Idée's proprietary image identification technology to protect the visual assets of Illustration Works by reporting exactly where their images are found in print publications and on the Internet.

Illustration Works is the preferred resource for rights-managed and royalty-free stock art images worldwide. Their rich, diverse collection is the exclusive work of over 300 leading artists and illustrators from around the globe.

The artistic imagery of Illustration Works appears in print publications and the Internet. From advertisements, editorials, posters and websites to book and magazine covers, chances are you are likely to spot one of their unique images. But with such a popular collection comes the risk of unlicensed use and image theft. Not surprisingly, Illustration Works was looking for a better way to keep track of where their images were being used - and by whom.

Illustration Works needed a way to assure their clients and artists of industry exclusivity.

Idée's image monitoring service helps Illustration Works by letting them know exactly where their images are being used - both in print and online. Now, Illustration Works can not only recover unlicensed revenues by pursuing infringers, they can ensure the protection of their rights-managed and royalty-free business as well as ensuring their artists’ images are fully protected.

Illustration Works' image collection is unique - you won’t find their art anywhere else. Clients who license Illustration Works images need to know that their projects won’t look like everyone else’s. By subscribing to automated image monitoring, Illustration Works can assure their clients of exclusivity, recover lost revenue, and protect the copyrights of their artists at the same time!

PixID uses Idée's unrivaled image monitoring software to provide reports outlining exactly where a body of images has been used; both in print and on the Internet. PixID identifies images based on their appearance, even if they have been radically cropped, rotated, color-adjusted, or flipped.

Illustration Works uses PixID to protect their visual assets. Because PixID monitors thousands of print publications and millions of websites automatically, the Illustration Works team can spend less time worrying about where their images are appearing, and more time doing what they do best - providing unique imagery to their clients.
