I just checked and I can apply again in...just ...73 day!
I hope there is a big pot of gold waiting for me if/once I get in after all this effort.

General discussion / Re: Experience with donating images at 123rf?
« : Февраля 01, 2008, 02:23:16 pm »
I was a bit unsure about donating images for free but thought I would try it. I donated 5 in December but didn't notice any increase in sales (I know it was Christmas!) Then I thought I would try it again in January with 20 images (for 10 days) and have seen an increase of about 25%. I am going to not offer any free images in February to see if my sales drop back to the previous level.

Same for me I guess I joined Albumo in September time and Fotomind...Tuesday! As a side note I have just joined Panther media and got accepted. No sales of yet but I have high hopes for it.

I tried uploading jpeg versions of my illustrations and they told me to get full use out of the files they should be supplied as .eps files. Obviously then I applied and they rejected me 
I don't mind the fact that they only want people that can draw. They are obviously in a strong position and can dictate what they want to accept. I guess I will have to study what they like and panda to their needs! istock bring in a large percentage of peoples money swapping between No1 and 2 position I feel I am losing out alot by not being on there!
P.S. My best seller has dropped to about 10-15 a day but I have a whole hungry pack of images biting at its heels ready to take its crown!

Whoo Domencolja, who needs istock, I see the image above 9002620 is streaking up the shutterstock Illustration list. I will have to browse your portfolio for some "inspiration"!

They have very specific ideas of what they want. If you look at the most popular list and check out the highest rated on the left, that seems to be the kind of thing they are after. I find it really odd because if you search for illustrations the and most popular none of this kind of illustrations appear in the list.
I don't know if they just want you to prove that you can draw before they let you upload more stock related images or they have just tightened up what they are accepting.
Or maybe I am not the vector god that I thought I was! LOL

Vector submissions to istock....I would start by banging your head against something really hard because that is my experience of trying to get into istock! I have tried on four different occasions! I am nearly there now (just one more to be approved) but I have to wait 3 months before I can try again!
The funny thing is I got accepted on my first try with my photos which with a short browse of my portfolio you will realise that I am not the best photographer in the world!
So what I am saying is...dont ask me!

As long as you can save Illustrator 8 files from corel draw then there is no reason not to use it...other than trying to take some of my sales...why would you want to do something nasty like that? LOL

I have used the slice tool but I prefer to subtract tool under the pathfinder pallet. I find it gives me more control.
