its not like i can get a super good editor or anything but the ones i do use are pretty useful

i try really hard and take tons of effort and time to make these things look right

and they continually are rejected

can anyone tell me if they have experienced this, or am i just the victim of random hatred... i wouldn't mind... it wouldn't even be the first time.

No, hun, it's not random hatred. You should be getting responses as to why your submission is rejected and thus, how you can improve it. If that's not happening, let me know and I'll see if that can be fixed. But the point is not to get discouraged. If you know the reason why it is rejected, you can avoid doing certain things with graphics for the future. If you really this they shouldn't have been, you can always get more feedback by posting them in Graphics Showcase to members can critique and give advice.

And have you looked at the guidelines? (Here and here.)
