NEW - Note to Reviewers field
May 21st, 2010, 4:29pm
 
We have created a new field that should help speed up the review process by improving the communications between artists and the review team.  It's called Note to Reviewer.
 
This will allow you to leave a note to the review team when you submit a new card.  It can only be created at that time.  Once the card is submitted this field cannot be edited.  For communications about that card after you've submitted it you should continue to reply to the card review email itself or send an email to cardreview@greetingcarduniverse.com
 
You will see this new field when you create a card.  It is located below the Artist's Comments field.  It is optional EXCEPT for FastTrack requests.  When checking FastTrack you'll need to enter a Note to Reviewer as to why you've requested FastTrack.  This will help the review team take the best action when knowing it's for a custom card request, your personal use, wanted cards request on the forum, etc.
 
Other examples of Notes to Reviewers you may leave to facilitate your review:
1) image source - confirming that you have the rights or model release or proper license and URL  
2) vintage works - identifying how you've modified vintage elements to create a new composition
3) margin areas - noting that by design some elements of your card are close to the edge(s)/in the 1/4 inch margin area
4) your call for help on finding a better suited category if needed
5) clarify an intentional typo or play on words or acceptable variation on spelling
6) explain the use of seemingly unrelated keywords  
7) reference a previously approved similar image card by pid#    
8) ask for review of design that you intend to use as the basis for a large collection (concept review)
 
Please let us know if you have any questions about this new feature.  Thank you  Smiley and let us know how you think it is working.

Great feature!  This should save a step or two in having to not resubmit so many cards.  Especially for those of us who are really abstract thinkers.  Uhh, that probably includes almost every artist.  LOL
Thanks guys for thinking on your feet!  RT

I wonder if we can for example: At times I'm not sure and would like to try a particular category, sometime it gets approved and sometime I am asked to remove the category, then I wait again for a re-submit.  
 
So my question is, would it be rude if I just made a note to the reviewer that if the category is not what GCU expects for this particular card, can they just remove it for me.  
 
There have been other times when I think, oh they won't approve this in that category so I skip it, and lo and behold the reviewer tells me to add it for extra exposure.   undecided
 
In other words can we ask the reviewer to just make the quick change for us, instead of a re-submit, if it is wrong, or would that be taking advantage of the procedure.

Yes, I think this would be fine.  What we want to avoid is a blanket message like "fix whatever it takes to approve my card".  Again, part of the review process is to help the artists learn so the review process is more efficient for everyone.    But if you have a specific question/comment ie: if this 2nd category is not fitting please remove for me, that should be fine.
 
Thanks for asking!

Just wanted to say for this new feature. Smiley
 
I was able to add some very relevant info for the reviewer on my last little batch of cards that most definitely would have been sent back for further clarification before approval. It saved myself and the reviewer much extra work.  
So I love this feature. It's a win-win.

Note to Reviewers field on resubmit
Reply #26 - Jun 10th, 2010, 10:30am
 
Hello,
I posted this question in "Feedback & Suggestions" however, since this thread was started introducng this feature, wasn't sure which topic area it would best be answered in so posted in both.
I really like the "Note to Reviewer" box which was added last week, but was wondering why you can't edit or add additional comments when a card is returned for edits.  Is that a programming thing or thought out for a specific reason?
I'm sure we can use the reply feature in our email notice of a cards return, but when we resubmit a card it would be nice to make note of our responses so we have those available in the card management window.
There's likely a very plausible reason for closing that dialogue upon resubmission of a card, but I'm just wondering.
Thank you,
Randall

Yes, purposeful.  After first submit you will get the reviewers' attention quickest via email if additional dialog is needed.

Thank you Mindy!
 
That kind of where I was going since we are free to reply directly with the reviewer once the approval?edit process has begun.  I save some of my more artist services emails with reviewers comments & suggestions anyway until I get a hang of what I'm doing or not doing.
 
Thanks again,  Randall
