How do I provide appropriate credit when using Squarestylist components?

Copyright attribution is all about acknowledging the hard work and creativity of the people often overlooked behind the scenes. This includes visual design, written content, soundscape, code, and other forms of media. Attribution respects the intellectual property rights of the original creator by publicly recognizing their distinct effort and skill.

When using any of our creative components (free or paid), we kindly request that you credit us for these components in your work to help sustain our ability to offer these valuable resources and acknowledge the collaborative nature of our design community.

Please provide proper copyright attribution when you are using techniques and components from our core curriculum and code toolkit. We would prefer that you cite the specific component or code snippet or add “Code components by Squarestylist” where applicable.

Here are some more alternatives you can consider for your copyright attribution:
