^Yeah you can reject it. Just go to the submission, click "edit" & go to the bottom & hit "reject."

Oh just leave it. You can't delete a pending submission. A mod will reject it. thumbsup.gif

The .jpg or w/e file you're uploading also has information about the camera it was taken with, stock photos are defined as photos with high quality, and can be used for multitude of purposes. A 1 megapixel picture means 528x384 size picture. Anything smaller than that would be useless.


Yeah, okay. I'm trying to submit some stock photos, but I always get that 1 megapixel-thing when I'm trying to upload 'em. It's so annoying and I really don't know what to do DDD: the picture is 604x450, should it be bigger?

^Try uploading it as a banner. It can be changed to "stock photo" after it's accepted.

I feel like submissions are accepted or rejected by different people's preferences. I might submit something one day and it get rejected by someone, then upload it again and it may be accepted. It's not fair. I understand REALLY bad graphics, but one's I've gotten rejected aren't that bad. I don't understand why they were rejected...but okay. I've seen worse graphics on here. Multiple people should be able to review your graphic. Just saying. It's really not fair that you take ALL artistic rights away. There's really not much you can make when you tell us NOT to make it in certain ways. That's not right.

^It is true that other people have slightly different views on things, but in general we're all on the same page. We all have the same guidelines and rules to follow. If multiple people had to review a graphic before the final decision was made, we would never get through the queue. Sometimes we consult each other if we're really on the fence about something, but for the most part we have to go with our instinct.

There are certain problems with graphics that are problems no matter how you look at them. Things like low image quality, choppiness, blurriness, clashing colors, etc. are all going to be there no matter which one of us looks at it. Rejecting a graphic for something like that is not taking your artistic rights away. Plus, we do tell you why it was rejected, and if we have suggestions on how to fix it, we'll give them.

Edit: I just looked through your rejected graphics, and I'm 100% positive all the other mods would have rejected them as well. The image quality was extremely low on those, and I even told you why and how to fix it. ermm.gif

Topics Merged


Victorian backgrounds are those backgrounds that have those swirls. Like the following:
http://www.createblog.com/backgrounds/53157-victorian-pink/
http://www.createblog.com/backgrounds/53156-victorian/
http://www.createblog.com/backgrounds/5010...ground-in-pink/

Some examples of layouts containing victorian backgrounds can be found here:
http://www.createblog.com/layouts/tag/victorian/


Now you have to keep in mind that with every submission it's different. So if you were to submit a layout just using a victorian background with no editing done to the tables or whatever, then it'd be rejected. But if it looks like the layouts I provided here, then they'd probably be accepted.

I'm not quite sure where to post this, but an image such as this too explicit for a layout on cB?


The picture looks like Stephen Meisel even though it probably wasn't taken by him. I've never seen it before but I love it!
