Website terms

Terms for viewing original studies and discussing a possible freelance project.

The publication-design portfolio of Tina Marie Collier-Duncan is published by Tina Marie Collier-Duncan, identified at 732 Richmond St, Rockwell City, IA 50579, United States. These terms concern use of the public pages and enquiry tool. They do not themselves agree a publication schedule, accept a manuscript or create a paid design commission. The email contact is [email protected]. Any later project should have its own brief and agreed conditions. Reading an example page is a way to understand a design approach, rather than permission to distribute its content or claim it as a publication commissioned by you.

In the Margins, Fieldwork, Plain Language are self-directed design studies using fictional briefs and sample material. They are not presented as real magazines, organisational annual reports or commercially published guides. Any illustrative values belong to their visual examples and are not research findings. Their project notes explain how typography, margins, headings and captions support reading. The portfolio does not use them to claim an existing client relationship, publication circulation, measured reader response or a professional approval that has not been supplied and confirmed.

You can browse, compare the studies and prepare a relevant enquiry. The original illustrations, layouts and written explanations are not automatically licensed for republication or resale. Please discuss the intended use before reproducing a concept, creating a derivative publication from it or adopting a fictional title for a business. Do not disrupt the service, seek private access or submit unlawful material. A local draft function is intended for a project conversation, not bulk messaging, a public comment facility or storage of documents belonging to other people.

Preparing the form produces a readable message and an optional email link. It takes no payment and does not reserve design time or accept an order. You review and send through your own email service, whose delivery is separate from this page. If a conversation develops, the parties need to agree the scope, availability and method of working. A possible project should not be treated as accepted merely because a form was filled in, a draft was opened or a portfolio example resembles the document you need.

The design brief should distinguish layout from writing, editing, fact checking, translation and specialist review. Those are separate responsibilities even when they affect the same page. The party supplying text should identify its status and permissions, and the agreement should say who approves the final content. Design can make a report easier to navigate without verifying every number or claim. Correct spelling, page references, captions, tables and factual statements should be checked before publication in the actual intended format.

Useful scope information includes the intended reader, approximate length, formats, source files, image material and distribution method. Covers, contents pages, tables, chapter openers, index work and accessible digital output may require different tasks. A proposal should identify the included deliverables, number or method of revisions, source-file handover, fees, currency and approval stages. No fixed price, turnaround or capacity is promised through this site. Changes in page count or source material should be discussed explicitly rather than silently treated as part of an earlier estimate.

Before sharing a manuscript, photograph, chart or illustration, confirm that you can authorise the use proposed. Contributor agreements, attribution requirements, confidentiality and third-party licences can affect design and distribution. A font installed for a page does not automatically license every recipient to edit or redistribute it. The final agreement should address rights in the work and any included assets, with restrictions explained before publication. Material shown as a fictional study is not a substitute for the permissions needed in a real client document.

Screen colour, line breaks and page appearance can change between devices, file formats and print processes. The required output, page size, bleed, colour settings, binding and digital accessibility requirements should be agreed with the relevant participants. A layout visible in a browser is not a print proof or a guarantee of a manufacturer’s result. The client and production participants should review final files in context. Ongoing edits, new editions and archiving are additional matters to define, rather than assumed lifetime services attached to one commission.

The portfolio provides design information and original examples, without a guarantee of commercial success, universal file compatibility or continuous website availability. Responsibility for any paid service depends on its actual agreement and applicable law. These terms do not exclude protections that must remain available by law, and they do not override an existing written commission. If a page or example is misleading or inaccessible, identify it through the contact route so the concern can be understood. Do not send confidential files simply to demonstrate a website problem.

The website terms are dated 2 November 2026. Later changes describe use of the updated website and do not silently rewrite a separately agreed publication project. The Privacy policy explains technical requests and the draft-email workflow. Cancellations and refunds addresses the absence of a checkout and the need for actual engagement terms. The Portfolio disclaimer explains the fictional status and limits of the examples. For a question about rights, scope or the use of a particular page, identify that page or agreement when writing to [email protected].
