Use of the original editorial illustration studies and the separate steps needed to agree an actual project with Arianna Leoni.
1. Operator and use of the portfolio
The website is presented by ARIANNA LEONI, an independent professional using the public name Arianna Leoni. The identification address is Vicolo Guicciardini 4, Vailate, Cremona, Lombardy 26019, Italy, and the contact route is an email draft to [email protected]. These terms cover access to the portfolio, its concept studies, service descriptions and enquiry tools. They do not by themselves create a design commission, partnership, employment relationship or agency appointment. Reading a page or preparing a message does not indicate that a project has been accepted.
2. Permitted browsing and fair use
You may browse the pages, follow their navigation and refer to the work when discussing a potential design project. Use the site in a way that respects other people's rights and the availability of the service. Do not impersonate another person, submit misleading identity information, interfere with the site's operation or attempt to gain access to systems that are not publicly offered. A public portfolio is an invitation to view the material; it is not a general license to republish the artwork or sell it as your own.
3. Meaning of the concept studies
Between the leaves and The open window are independent original studies for fictional briefs. The accompanying notes explain visible choices in editorial illustration, including the question behind each composition and the material included. These studies are not commissioned client work, published case results or testimonials. An illustrated scene is an original visual interpretation of a fictional editorial subject. It is not documentary photography, evidence of an event or an endorsement by a publication. The image should be reviewed in its actual editorial context before use. The concept description belongs with the image; removing it could create an inaccurate impression of the work. A real engagement starts from the actual source content and its permissions, rather than treating the portfolio’s invented scenario as an operational brief.
4. Service descriptions and project fit
A request can begin a discussion about editorial illustration, but no project is accepted by viewing a page or preparing an email. A proposal needs to establish the intended audience, the available source material and the specific work to be delivered. Image dimensions, number of scenes, crop permissions, print or digital use and licensing scope are matters for the actual scope. Timing, fees, revisions and usage rights require agreement before relying on a production commitment. No portfolio label or concept title is a current quotation. An email draft remains under your control until you decide to send it through your own service.
5. Enquiries and email drafts
The form prepares a message for review and offers a mailto link to your email application. It does not send the message from a website server, take payment or reserve time. You decide whether to send the draft through your own email service, and can edit it beforehand. A generated draft is not an acknowledgement of receipt. Email services may reject, delay or fail to deliver messages. Any confirmation of scope, receipt or acceptance must come from the actual conversation, not from the website's draft preview.
6. Proposals and agreement
An illustration proposal should set the subject, number of images, intended publication and output dimensions. It should also address any permitted crops, required source files, review stages and the scope of use. The portfolio’s independent scenes are examples of visual direction, not ready-made quotations for a publication. A deadline or format mentioned in an enquiry needs confirmation in the actual scope. Viewing a drawing or preparing a brief does not create a commission, grant publication rights or establish an accepted delivery date.
7. Fees, payments and availability
The portfolio has no checkout and does not publish a standard price list. No payment is collected through its enquiry form. A proposed fee, deposit, invoice method or cancellation arrangement must be established in the actual project discussion, together with any applicable currency and relevant charges. Similarly, a preferred deadline entered in the form is a request rather than a confirmed delivery commitment. Do not send card numbers or banking credentials in the message. Verify payment instructions in the agreed communication before making any separate project payment.
8. Materials supplied for a project
Article text, reference photographs and a publication’s visual identity need appropriate permission before they are used in a commissioned illustration. Identify restrictions on depicting people, reproducing existing images or adapting supplied work. An editorial concept does not automatically settle those permissions. The source owner or responsible editor should confirm factual context and the intended use. Keep confidential manuscript material out of a general enquiry until the communication arrangements are suitable. Final publication approval remains a separate step in the actual brief.
9. Intellectual property and files
Original illustration, supplied article text and reference pictures can carry different rights. Make clear which material you can authorise for the intended use, including photographs or identifiable people used as reference. A licence to publish an agreed illustration does not automatically include every future format, merchandise use or transfer of working files. The parties need to agree those permissions, attribution and editing conditions. Public display of a concept permits its consideration as portfolio material; it does not grant unrestricted reproduction rights.
10. Third-party services and production
Your email application, network access and any separately chosen publishing, software or hosting provider have their own terms and technical behaviour. A portfolio example cannot certify compatibility with every browser, document format, device or data source. A commissioned project needs agreed target environments, input formats, file handover, licences and acceptance criteria. Third-party subscriptions, live hosting, operational monitoring and external data access are not automatically included. Responsibility for factual checking, publication approval and any specialist review should be assigned before relying on a deliverable in a real service or decision.
11. Accuracy, access and responsibility
An editorial drawing is a visual interpretation, not documentary evidence of an event or a claim that a publication has commissioned the work. The fictional briefs here do not identify real clients. For an actual article, factual checking and the appropriateness of a visual metaphor should be reviewed in its editorial context. The portfolio cannot guarantee a particular reader response or publication outcome. This explanation leaves mandatory rights and any specific commitments in a later illustration agreement in force.
12. Changes, questions and related notices
The displayed revision date identifies this version. Later updates apply to the website as published; they do not silently amend a separately agreed commission. Consult the Privacy policy for the form and data workflow, the Cancellation and refund policy for the distinction between an enquiry and a paid project, and the Portfolio disclaimer for the status of examples. If you need to clarify use of the portfolio or a proposed engagement, prepare an email to [email protected]. Include the relevant page or agreement so the question can be understood in context.
