You are looking for a Work for Hire Clause.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ9.html
Statutory Definition
Section 101 of the copyright law defines a “work made for hire” as:
(1) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her
employment; or
(2) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a
contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or
other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work,
as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer
material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree
in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be
considered a work made for hire. For the purpose of the foregoing
sentence, a “supplementary work” is a work prepared for a
publication as a secondary adjunct to a work by another author for
the purpose of introducing, concluding, illustrating, explaining,
revising, commenting upon, or assisting in the use of the other
work, such as forewords, afterwords, pictorial illustrations, maps,
charts, tables, editorial notes, musical arrangements, answer
material for tests, bibliographies, appendixes, and indexes; and an
“instructional text” is a literary, pictorial, or graphic work
prepared for publication and with the purpose of use in systematic
instructional activities.

This is the 'Money for Stuff ' method of design.
This covers most of what you are looking for with image production
and static web pages.
Where the knives may come out, is in dynamic sites, such as database
driven sites, or sites that have custom code, that is developed for
a specific site.
Most times this is not much of a problem as most
designer/developers/pixel mechanics build stuff and then release
into the public domain for the lazy among us to cut and paste.:)
It is always nice to attribute stuff in the comments in the code,
though.
