Christmas flyer rejected - Help me please

Hey guys,

my christmas flyer was rejected:

“You need to work on making the file here more unique. There are many files on the site that make similar use of the same fonts and styles, so try to work something new and original up.”

What do you think? Could you give me some tipps?

I think that’s pretty unfortunate, since the quality of it is great. I’m not sure what you can do…. I might be tempted to contact support or the reviewer and argue your case that it is a worthwhile addition to the marketplace.

I really like it.

Oh, this is one of the nicest flyers I’ve seen posted in item discussion lately! I can’t believe it didn’t get approved.

What I don’t get is that the reviewer says “find different fonts” like what in the hell does that mean? They want you to create your own font in order for it to get approved? Who cares if you are using a font that thousands of other designers are using. I just don’t understand the process to getting things approved for the flyer section. I just browsed the section literally for the first time about 10 minutes ago, and I see many flyers that quality just stinks…

Your flyer out shines a lot of the flyers that are on the site for Christmas themes. I’d try to take this up with the reviewer and see what they are talking about. This is a really great piece that is being over looked. I’m just baffled right now to be honest with you…

Note: Looks like you are either using Futura or Avante Garde for your font. If so, they are highly respected fonts within the designer community and I just don’t understand what other type of font you could use that would compliment your current design. Don’t give up!

OMG , its very beautiful , you can try to sell it on other sites.

I think sometimes they have a quote, how many items should be rejected. Personally i’dont like this kind of Christmas stuf i would never use anything like this if i would have to. But this is my personal opinion. In the professional way, as an art director i say yes. People needs this kind of stuff, and this flyer/poster/card combo is totally ok. You can change the font even if this is good. But i think this post was also good, because im sure they gonna see this and realize when a reviewer does not do his job well. And this example here shows, he made a mistake!

Thanks to all of you. Especially to xstortionist. It was nice to read your lines.

I´ll try to upload it with some color changes. We will see what happen.

It probably didn’t get approved because you have one exactly like it in your portfolio

That’s true! If you think it’s better than the first one, maybe you should upload it as an update to the first one. Or if you have a total of 3 christmas flyers, you could upload them as a pack, maybe this one would be accepted that way.

I like the idea of uploading them as a bundle / pack.
