Why was my content rejected for Text / Graphic Placement?

Text should be applied in ways that are easy for the customer to edit

If your content was rejected with "Text / Graphic Placement - Content contains placeholder text or graphics that would be difficult for a customer to edit or delete," it is probably because:

  • Placeholder text/graphics were placed on a non-solid color such as a gradient, texture, or pattern.

If including placeholder text/graphics in JPEG images or videos, you must place them over a solid color so they can be easily edited out.

For example, it would be difficult for a customer to remove the placeholder text in the image below because it is placed in the sky, which has a subtle color gradient.

However, the placeholder text in this example would be easy to remove using photo editing software because it is placed over a solid black background.
