Hi there, I uploaded some Illustrations I made.

Now they were rejected due to copyright issues.

I am not sure, where this could be … the phone maybe?

See one of the pictures attached.

 

Thanks for your jelp.

It's probably "intellectual property violation"? You designed an iPhone... The round button is enough to violate Apple's design rights.

Hi Blindtext, 

Are all these outright rejections? If the rejected artwork is placed in "Reminder", then it means you will need to produce a property release to say that you are the designer (owner) and the artist. You can just fill out the electronic form in which case no witness is required. Otherwise means the moderator have reason to believe you have included in your design, trademark, or logo that makes your art identifiable by the owner of the mark(s).

 

Best wishes

Hi JG,

the comment was (translated):

During the review, we found that copyrighted elements are included. Therefore we cannot include your work in our collection. Elements protected by copyright may be found in the picture or description, title and / or keywords.

I guess it is the button of the mobile …
