    Stock is a global assets service. Most customers don’t use English as their primary language.

     

    Stock says this:

    “ Avoid text unless it’s a necessary part of your composition, because buyers may need to select a substitute font, language or message.” 

     

    You’ll reach more customers if you don’t add text to images. Read your Contributor User Guide for more details on what Stock expects from Contributors.

    Hope that helps.

    Text is unnecessary here. The symbols themselves are understood, I think. So, something to bear in mind!

    One more thing. Your assets do not have color profiles. AI does not add color profiles. Assets should be submitted as sRGB. While we have no evidence of images being rejected due to missing or incorrect color profiles, the rules state to submit images as sRGB.

    Poorly rendered lines. Texture of the hands look like plastic. Underexposure in the shadows.

    Understood. I appreciate you clarifying the reasoning behind this.
