Hello. I generally create background designs. Previously, my vector background designs were rejected due to 'Quality Issues'. I'm creating a new collection related to fabrics and my first submitted work was also rejected for the same reason. Usually, I understand the reasons for rejections and make corrections, but I can't understand why this background was rejected. (I got a screenshot because the file size limit is 5 mb. The original file is 13 mb.) I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

Backgrounds or wallpapers of any sort are hard to get past the moderators these days. A search for fabric backgrounds brings up a total of well over 27 million results. A more general search for backgrounds and wallpapers result in over 58 million. Even if accepted, it would be up against a lot of competition. And monotone images are, more often than not, rejected anymore.

I can imagine. Anyway, I guess I should stop working on products like this then

Or submit them elsewhere. As Adobe appears to be increasing their standards for quality and subject matter, many are submitting to other stock sites as well. Even assets accepted here can still be sold on most other stock sites unless they claim exclusivity.

I am going to guess and say that the threads are not running horizontal. The focus is a little too soft. The shadows may be too dark.

It's hard to predict. When I can't upload my designs, I just feel like I'm wasting time. I won't be submitting that kind of content then.
