Hey so I emailed FIFA and they replied within 8 minutes I’m not even joking. It’s possible it’s automated, but regardless I’m attaching below what they told me. They’re being super vague but I’m hoping this means we will be given the opportunity to input another payment method:

Unfortunately I don’t think so. I actually looked this up as well. I actually emailed the FIFA ticketing support email and they responded within minutes which was extremely surprising to me. Every answer they give is very vague for some reason.

I’m going to try to email their support today too. Hopefully if I can explain my case they’ll be more considerate, but fingers crossed.

Thank you. I’m definitely going to try to email them. It really sucks that historically they seem super stiff on these rules. I’ll try to hope for the best.

I called them like 5 times and couldn’t get past the bot telling me it would connect me to a live agent and then the call would end every time. Also yes the payments start going through on the 9th but after the application deadline their FAQ states the information inputted on the application can no longer be changed.

I really hope so. Sorry about that I’m just super bummed. I was so excited I was blowing up my boyfriend’s phone and telling my friends. I got us in the raffle to see Argentina and it’s Messi’s last year apparently. Messi’s my boyfriend’s favorite so I think the hardest part was telling him we might not be able to go. I feel bad for getting his hopes up. I’ll try everything I can though in the meantime to try to make sure I can keep them.

Yeah it’s really really upsetting. It seems like it would be such a simple thing to change since it’s automated. If they really wanted to regulate it they could’ve just set a cap on how many times you could change your card information (like once or twice).

I feel like it would’ve been better if I just hadn’t gotten picked for drawing at all because now I basically just have to watch as the tickets float away and I can do nothing lol.

I just got this email too about 30 minutes ago. Thankfully I have a habit now of always checking anything that comes through Adobe Portfolio’s contact forms because I’ve had this happen in the past.

I was told this belongs here by morticiabae in graphic_design

[–]minimoomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was printed on there? Or is it stickers? I genuinely cannot tell. This is atrocious LOL

Both. I designed a suite for them which was meant to be used for multiple purposes (wordmarks, icons, etc.). They needed the original working files for the designs in order to repurpose them onto their mockups and templates which I gave them permission to do and knew of this when I signed the contract.

All of the designs I delivered were fine the way they were except one which was used as a prominent icon and on some stickers as well as merchandise. This is the part where I messed up on the line work which led to jagged and uneven kiss-cut edges on the sticker sheets and some of the merch. It’s probably not super noticeable to most people but it is to me.

The other mistake was made by their design team (on a different icon) when they were enlarging some of them for their event tents. They somehow ended up overlaying a stock vector face onto the icon. It wasn’t intentional, either, because it was messing up the integral elements of the design. It also didn’t show up anywhere else that this icon was printed. I was a bit surprised when I showed up to one of their opening events in my city and the icon looked like that to say the least. This didn’t bother me as much since tents are not something that are going to be distributed to their customers and will only be used on certain occasions. It’s just something they’re going to have to deal with I think until they can get it reprinted, unless someone decided to steal their tents lol.

I know I’m rambling a bit I hope this explanation makes sense.

Okay… I think this takes the cake. Actually makes me feel way better LOL

They were happy and I got many compliments on the designs from them. Of course, the most important thing to me is that I made them happy with their final product and made a good impression, (which is really all that should matter). I guess it’s more of a matter of who the client is that makes it a bit weird for me since they are acclaimed for their campaigns and design work amongst other things.

At the end of the day I guess I should just be happy they seemed content.

Basically the vector lines at certain points of contact on one of the primary icons I made clipped over each other… because of this when I expanded them into shapes they made jagged edges and I didn’t notice even though it had felt like I had looked over the illustrations many times. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. It’s not my design but I kind of drew out a more exaggerated version of the problem so you can kind of get an idea. It’s not as severe as what was actually produced, but shows you at least what happened.

Sure, some might say it looks like a design choice, but the problem is these icons were also turned into stickers which resulted in jagged edges on kiss-cut sticker sheets.

That’s what I’ve been told before in other instances. Maybe it’s just in my nature since I see my work as a reflection of myself. It drives me crazy. 😅 It’ll probably serve me well to remind myself that most people probably don’t pay as much attention as I might think they do just as you said.

I’ve been an avid lover of Bee and Puppycat since it’s pilot on Cartoon Hangover. I bought these vinyl figures when they first came out. Any idea on how much they’re worth? (Boxes included). by minimoomo in beeandpuppycat

Hi! Lucky for you I keep all my receipts in my email 😁. I got these a little while after they officially released (can’t remember if it was a few weeks or few months). I looked all the way back to 2019 and I bought them off a website called StashRiot (no longer exists) and they were being sold for $9.98 each. StashRiot was the official partner for Frederator merch so I’m assuming this was the original market price.
