Can you tell me why my template got rejected? Any feedback will be much appreciated

hi well i cannot say that this is the worse thing i have ever seen lol or that this is not tasteful , this would be definitely untrue, though , there are things to improve, if u ask me … I assume that the really major problem that u have here is yellow titles on a white page, definitely not contrasting enough and making u violate the contrast basic design principle and bringing u to be confronted with a collection of other issues in a snowball effect indeed … This lack of contrast actually means hard readability , a “damaged” hierarchy of information, and a collection of thing that should pop out actually not being given the right attention and impact. In other words, this is really not a small deal. But, the good news is, this is certainly not hard for u to fix … However this problem, with a major one, gets even more a problem as well as soon as u compile it with a few genuine spacing issues (see the board to director slide and "staffico expert team " one for instance) and some secondary information popping out much much more than the bigger titles so that coherence is a bit lot in the whole document / item so to speak … i have personally a lot of trouble to get to see the guideline between the shapes that u are using as “bullets” and where u put titles … a lot of them do not even belong to the same category and u shift from straight shapes to circular ones without transition, which looks weird in my opinion and kills the harmony that u could generate otherwise. Beware also about breathing … in the slide “this is what we offer to u” not only is the title too much organized as a “totem” (too many lines in other words) but there is a very crammed feeling resulting from the slide as there is very little breathing all across the whole slide and in particular when it comes to the space between the top margin and header and bottom margins and footer. Otherwise, pls do not forget that this is a template that u have to create and for that matter u can arrange the flow of content to match the style and bring some perfect harmony in every slide , what is the point for example to have a big title a lot of space and a small paragraph of text which ends up looking disconnected from the title due to the big amount of space between separated parts? I will just end up commenting the global style, if this is not bad, in my view, the global style relies a bit too much on pictures and the thing , with pictures, is that they are not included , so that the item, if accepted may generate some frustration from possible buyers out of not providing anything too much in the main zip file in the end …
