What if my designs are not accepted by Adobe Stock due to  copyright issue while I had made the illustration designs through a  paid plan of a well known graphic designing platform? At the time of making the designs, no watermarks were there, but later they ( watermarks)  appeared after the subimssion on Adobe Stock on the original designing platform. How to deal with it?

    You violated Stock’s TERMS of service by uploading an asset from another site to which you do not have full ownership rights. That’s very bad for everyone, especially you. This is why:

     

    In the future, only submit assets to which you have 100% copyright ownership. If you’re not sure, read the service’s TERMS first.
