Title: istock illustration rejections
Post by: nicemonkey on November 06, 2009, 06:01

I know istock (http://www.istockphoto.com/Nicemonkey) are tougher than most to get images approved on but I have been getting some frustrating rejections. I keep getting illustrations rejected and the reason given is that I haven't supplied the original artwork/image that the illustration was created from, so I e-mailed support to explained that all my images are hand drawn and not traced or copied from source material they agreed and told me to write a short note and sign it and then attach it to each file as I submit them.

Great I thought but no, some reviewers clearly read the note and pass the illustrations but then I can have similar files rejected for the "missing rgb source files" reason the next week.

Has anyone else had this issue and how did you get round it?

If you're "drawing" direct in Illustrator without any reference sketches on paper then you need to take a few screen shots during the process, put them into a jpeg and provide that for the inspector. If you're working from your own sketches on paper as references, then provide them.
