Good day,
I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding the reviewing process for submitted items on Envato. I have recently submitted a total of seven items, out of which only two were approved, while the remaining five were rejected on the grounds of being “too simple” and not meeting the quality requirements to be considered professional templates.
I am seeking clarification on the reasons behind these rejections. I have invested a significant amount of time and effort in composing these items, and I find it difficult to accept such dismissive feedback without a clear understanding of where my designs fall short.

Probably it is too simple I am not sure…
Hey, your templates are too simple and too repetitive. Basically one design in each template with changing photos in the same way, and maybe you flip the design to create “variety” later.
Some designs are badly designed - elements overlap each other in a jarring way, that ends up looking at best unreadable and at worst just ugly and absolutely unprofessional. The first preview with the handwritten text is the biggest victim of this and then also the last one with the same text font.
I can also see that the spacing for even “better” designs seen in other templates, gives me doubts. Text is too close to the edges of graphics, proportions are probably messed up too. Furthermore I think you use too many fonts or font variations so it ends up looking “messy and too much”. Keep it down to 1-2 fonts that match, and perhaps 3 text sizes.
Of course, you could write this all down to a stylistic choice, but to me it personally looks a bit off when looking at the whole design. Truly top-notch designed text usually doesn’t give the viewer such feelings, cause everything is balanced accordingly to graphic design’s typography rules. Or if they are broken it’s for a reason, and even then this “chaos” is somehow else balanced out with other elements.
UPDATE: after looking at your approved projects, another reason for rejection could also be you submitting similar-looking projects. Where a reviewer could interpret these as an iteration of one original project, where later you just flip a few things around, change up the reveal animation and boom another cash grab.

Your animations are too simple, error typography and designs.
You need practice more for good quality designs, animations and typography, you can see other design in videohive for give your idea.
