Veer / 1st 10 Rejected at Veer
« on: January 27, 2010, 19:47 »
Not complaining about rejections here first off. Every site has their criteria but i would like to know how to improve/get accepted.

These images that were rejected are on a lot of other sites including DT & SS.

So my question is: are veer different from the above sites so much that i have to rethink my design approach and cater for them specifically?

Reason for non-approval:

"Based on these 10 images, we can't offer you contributor privileges at this time. You are welcome to submit 10 new images. Nice illustrations, but a majority of your submission was not compatible with the Veer aesthetic."

Taking that on board i looked through a few live images and found it to be a different 'feel' to the usual. What veer has to offer almost boarders (or IS) more like an art gallery and those images probably wouldn't get approved on the 'other' sites.

Any tips from those 'veer approved' welcome.

123RF / Fed up with 123RF

OK so we all get rejections and my port is tiny AND i am still learning but...

26 files and 18 rejections on 123RF.
No Sales and no reasons for rejection.. just 'Rejected' in bold red letters. How am i supposed to use that as feedback for improvement?!

The latest rejections which actually had a comment attached are ridiculous.

This image (which has sold today on GL) for instance:

http://graphicleftovers.com/graphic/search-light-city/

Rejected by 123RF because "This image requires you to provide and attach the proper model or property releases."

They want a property release for a made-up city horizon?!  Give me a break. Are the reviewers actually LOOKING at the images or just glancing at them before pressing the 'trash' button.

This image was also rejected for the same reason:
http://www.dreamstime.com/girl-in-dress-image12626211

So.. fed up, i emailed 123RF this morning (uk) and await a response to the following:

"After getting a lot of rejections since signing up i need some clarification please after the latest rejections reasons given as 'property release required.'

It's good if 123 have high criteria to meet but i need more than 'rejected' as feedback to enable improvement on my side to meet that criteria.

After 26 files uploaded 18 are rejected with one pending (and i suspect that will be rejected also.)

The latest reason for rejection are in part unrealistic and frankly absurd: (filenumber***) Search lights pointing into a night sky above a silhouette city horizon (illustration). You guys want a property release for a city? An obviously fabricated horizon created from imagination?! That doesn't make sense neither is it possible to fulfill.

I understand the model release question for the 'girl in dress' (filenumber***) but can confirm this is original artwork and i retain all copyright to it.

On a last note i see a lot of the preview thumbnail images in the 'history' section are not showing up. Is that a reason for rejection also?

Thanks in advance for answering these points so i can improve matters."
