    Anaolgies can sometimes back-fire and I have never been a fan of them.

    What I am fan of is open and clear communication which frames the relationship between design studio and client which sees each party very upfront about the benefits of the relationship and what each party is getting out of it.

    In that environment, saying 'Our source files are the intellectual property which you could use to produce additional work without paying a fee' That said, there should be no issue in supplying the raw design artifacts such as type, photography and illustration (depending in licensing from the various suppliers).

    A conversation like that at least makes it clear where design sits in the production(i.e. the thinking, process and manufacturing) of their material and shows them what it is they're actually paying for.
