In this industry
What should a creative-services proposal define beyond a visual style?
AIGA’s standard agreement framework addresses a proposal’s scope and the terms governing delivered work. Specify the actual outputs, intended uses and project boundaries before advertising a package. A style reference or attractive portfolio image alone does not describe every asset or right included in the purchase.
Does editable Canva delivery mean every design request is supported in that format?
Design Pickle’s help page lists Canva delivery scope and exceptions, including certain illustration and image-editing work. It also describes sharing a new version for revisions. Name the supported request type and delivery format in the offer, rather than promising one editable workflow for every creative service.
Can an editorial-only stock image be assumed usable in advertising?
Adobe Stock distinguishes standard, extended and editorial-only asset permissions. Its editorial-only rules restrict commercial uses such as advertising without the required permissions. Check the asset’s applicable license and the intended campaign use before delivery; purchasing access to a library does not automatically grant every commercial usage right.
Should book design and brand-identity work be treated as the same package?
Pentagram publishes book-design work as a distinct portfolio category. A book project has specific layout and publication deliverables, while a brand-identity commission needs its own agreed outputs. Match the portfolio example and call to action to the service being sold; one creative category does not define the scope of another.
