Vectors which we accept on our website are divided into several Types depending on the complexity of _exec_ution:

• 1 silhouette
• 1 simple object or icon
• Simple pattern and background

• 2 or more silhouettes or simple objects
• 2 or more moderately detailed objects or icons
• Moderately detailed patterns and backgrounds
• Creative and stylized imagery

• Complete composition
• Highly detailed objects
• Originality and uniqueness
• Consistency of style and _exec_ution

• Complete and highly detailed composition
• Accomplished artistic renderings
• Consistency of style and _exec_ution
• Originality and uniqueness
• Attention to detail

Vectors that you upload should be fully editable. All shapes should be movable and editable, and the colors should be easily able to change.

The shapes you use must be clean well made without a lot of effects extra layers of unnecessary items.
We encourage you to unlock the layers give them an appropriate name, _delete_ the invisible working layers remove any additional color swatches from a color palette to group related elements, do not mix RGB and CMYK color swatches, turn off the guide lines, check your save settings to make sure the file can be edited once you_qt_ve saved your EPS.
If we find problems with these recommendations, your file may be rejected and returned for further processing.

Example of an editable vector EPS in outline view:

Example of a non-editable EPS in outline view:

You must ensure that the image will not have open shapes. This usually happens when you create your own shapes or use transparency effects. Do not use transparency effects (transparent objects, _drop_ shadows, bevels and embosses, etc.) that are not compatible with AI-10 version. All transparency effects must be vectorized before uploading files.

Example of closed shapes in outline view:

Many fonts are copyrighted, so before you use them make sure you have the right to use them in order to be certain that you can use them without doing any harm to anyone by using them.

Using text elements in illustrations is not recommended by us. If you do use text elements, they must not be the main subject but only a support element in the overall composition.

Example of unconverted text defaulting to a system font:

Unnecessary shapes that have been forgotten outside your artboard may lead to unnecessary increase of the file size. When you finish drawing the illustrations make sure you have _delete_d all unnecessary forms outside your artboard.
You must also check if you have not left useless forms in the background of your illustration. Please review the file in the "outline" preview to make sure that the illustration contains only the items you want.

Example of a poorly autotraced image:

So upload unique composition files which appear to differ from others you_qt_ve uploaded.

Collections which are uploaded on our website should comply with the following requirements:
• the number of illustrations in a Collection should be at least 20;
• each illustration in the Collection must have a different composition;
• Collections of illustration must be on the same theme;
