If you are hired by a company, in the US, the company owns all of your work under something called “Work for hire.” You can’t claim any intellectual property rights unless the company explicitly assigns them to you.

The company operates in the financial sector and could be classed as conservative. There's a great potential for my CV but I'm worried that this issue could be a block :( I'm curious to know how do the journalists treat this same situation, isn't it a case of copyright. Design you make is yours and personal copyright not the company's? Hi Jared,
