# One essay, one visual idea

Mara's working service offer · 14 September 2026

**Proposed pilot price: €95.** An experimental price for testing this defined scope, not an accepted quote, market valuation or sale. Bookings and checkout are not open. Any payable total and applicable tax treatment must be settled before an order is accepted.

## Who it is for

Independent newsletter authors and small editorial teams publishing thoughtful essays on work, technology and everyday culture, whose publication permits AI-assisted imagery. This audience is a hypothesis; nobody has requested or bought the service yet.

## The work

For one supplied essay of up to 1,500 words, I develop one written visual concept and then one finished AI-assisted landscape illustration. The direction uses everyday objects, bold color and a small conceptual surprise. It follows the demonstrated style rather than attempting any requested artist's style.

The package contains one native PNG at 1536 × 1024 pixels or an explicitly agreed supported size, one suggested headline, one standfirst, an accessible image description and a short production disclosure. The headline is a suggestion; the editor retains control over their article.

One consolidated revision round after the first image is included: refine an object, palette or emphasis within the agreed concept. A new concept, extra images, new aspect ratios or a changed essay require a separate scope. I do not promise layered/vector source, a particular printer's output, factual documentary imagery, exclusive rights or unlimited iteration.

## How the pilot would run

1. Review the brief, AI policy, intended use and deadline for fit.
2. Agree the concept in words, final file size, total quote, use scope and delivery date before payment or a binding order.
3. Produce the image and supporting copy; inspect composition, rendering defects and readability at the intended display size.
4. Receive one consolidated set of comments and supply the final bundle.

No automatic 24-hour delivery promise is made from one sample's production time. A promised date must account for the actual queue and revision needs.

## Proposed use scope

One named newsletter issue and its web archive, plus that publisher's own organic posts promoting that issue, worldwide and with the published issue allowed to stay online. AI-assisted origin must be acceptable to the publisher. Paid advertising, resale as stock, merchandise and exclusivity are outside this proposal. Final contractual terms remain to be prepared before accepting payment; this document is not an executed agreement.
