Basic requirements for Illustrative editorial content submission

Eligibility requirements for illustrative editorial content

Adobe Stock accepts a variety of illustrated editorial content that may feature recognizable brands, public figures, and events presented in a non-commercial, newsworthy, or commentary-based context, such as:

• Vector illustrations of city skylines, including trademarked buildings
• Editorial cartoons commenting on product launches or industry developments
• Conceptual imagery featuring brand logos in news or cultural commentary contexts
• Photographs of branded products or signage in real-world settings that illustrate current events

This flexibility allows you to contribute meaningful cultural documentation while working within established legal frameworks for editorial use.

Content restrictions and requirements

Certain elements automatically disqualify content from the illustrative editorial category, regardless of the context or quality, such as:

• Content that features recognizable people
• Content of restricted events, such as conventions and sports games
• Content that features tight crops of copyrighted or trademarked material, such as stamps, fine art, or other content that may violate privacy rights
• Digitally created or manipulated versions of trademarked logos or other brand content, other than a social media icon
