Title: Silly story of rejection
Post by: Stonefirewon on March 10, 2021, 05:51

I had happened upon a popular template company using many interesting images. I thought hey, maybe I should market my work here! So i inquired and sent them a portfolio link.
Between the time they got back to me I saw they had a number of my images already there. I thought, great! I'm a shoe in! They responded with something like your work does not fit here. I thought, What? I already have images there. I responded telling them this. They said send us a link. They responded with a your images don't fit here. What? I thought. You already have some of my images there. SMH You don't want my images but you already are using my images. Confounding.

Don't be shy tell us which agency so we can avoid them  ;D

Wasn't Envato by any chance?

What agency did they get your images from as a partner?

What are scared of by not telling us agency name? :-)

My apologies that I did not respond till now. But I no longer recall the site. I think they may have gotten the images from Adobe but not sure on that recollection. It was a site where they allow folks to combine images etc in templates for sites etc I believe. Just thought it was a funny story. Weirdness in the ms industry. And just kind of stupid too.
