Is it possible, from the point of view of law, to redesign a website for a company by copying their texts, photos, logos, etc. (for a portfolio)?

Question

Design

Good evening. The following question arose: let's say I wanted to redesign the site of a well-known company (or unknown) in order to put a case in my portfolio. Can I take their logo, photos, texts and make my own website design? I saw a lot of such projects, and I understand that most likely no one from that company will see it. But still it is interesting how to act correctly in such cases from the point of view of copyright. Thanks

Answer 1

In these situations, you can design for a fictitious company and not worry. Nobody needs these stories with redesigns, there are plenty of them all around. Epla redesign sites are constantly posted in the portfolio. But people are interested in style. And not the fact for which particular company they designed. If you show style in your work, the audience will definitely react.

Answer 2

I left a footnote:

A design is a practice for demonstrating the likely appearance of a service.
All images, photographs and links to external resources used are the intellectual property of their respective owners.
Used materials "Horns and Hooves".

Answer 3

The design of the site is not something unique.
You can register the program code, approach (flexible smart, touch screen, etc.), but not the design separately.
But the logos / brand name are already copyright.

Answer 4

In fact, you have a lot of copyright objects here:
- The design of the site itself
- Photo
- Literary work (texts)
- Logo (most likely a registered trademark)
And all these objects are going to either be used without a license or recycled, which in turn is infringement of exclusive rights.
And we remember that, according to Article 1301 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in cases of violation of the exclusive right to a work, the author or other right holder, along with the use of other applicable methods of protection and liability measures, has the right to demand payment of compensation in the amount of ten thousand rubles to five million rubles, determined by discretion of the court based on the nature of the violation.
So it's better not to implement your idea.
