A user recently asked: "I used Mystic to create a design with a famous cartoon character. Is it still subject for copyright?" 🤔 The answer is simple: Yes ✅ Mystic is a powerful tool, but it doesn't change copyright law. The original creator of that character, slogan, or logo still holds the rights. When Mystic generates a design based on that prompt, it is creating a derivative work, and selling that without permission is still infringement and the rules of intellectual property still apply. To protect your store from legal issues and platform bans, always stick to original designs you've created yourself or content you have a license to use.

A strong brand isn't just about one design—it's about a consistent style that customers can recognize and trust. Take VeryVintageDigitals on Etsy as an example. They sell a huge variety of designs for different holidays and themes, but every single product has that distinct retro style. They've built a brand around an aesthetic, not just a niche! You can do the exact same thing with Mystic POD. Create a 'style guide' for your prompts and apply it to any subject to build a cohesive store that keeps customers coming back. 💪
