Question: How to arrange the artworks on my page in a certain order?

Answer: To arrange the artworks in a specific order on your page, use the 'Sort' field in the list of artist's artworks.

The smaller the number set in the 'Sort' field, the closer to the top of the list on the artist's page are the artworks. In case of the equal sorting, the most recent added artworks are located at the beginning of the list.

Question: I added my artworks, but after a while they have been removed by the moderator. Why?

Answer: The most common reason for removal of the artworks is poor quality of the photographs. These include:

- file quality is too bad, there are artifacts, low resolution (less than 96 dpi);
- the image is artificially increased;
- unsharp image;
- edges of the image are not cropped, angles are not equal 90 degrees;
- the image has extraneous markings (logos or addresses of the third-party sites, various inscriptions on or below the image);
- artwork title, artwork description are misspelled, including the lowercase first letter.

The artworks may be deleted if the Administration considers them to be offensive, vulgar or of inappropriate professional quality.

Question: How to translate the title of the artwork and keywords into the English of Russian language?

Answer: You can use online translators to translate artworks titles and keywords into English or Russian. In most cases, automatic translations of short sentences are quite correct.

Note: Automatic translations of long texts (artworks descriptions, creative biographies) in most cases are incorrect and will be most likely rejected by the site moderator.
