GraphicLeftovers.com - Cash in on Rejected Art

GraphicLeftovers is essentially an online scrap yard for pieces of rejected design. Designers, illustrators and others of their ilk, can use the site to sell off their unwanted or merely unused works to willing bidders for the best price. Buying necessitates that you purchase credits, the lowest denominator being 10 credits for $13, with 26 credits going for $33, at the moment. Artwork is divided into six categories including logos, templates, marketing materials, and illustrations. There’s also a freebie category. It’s free to join the site. Items on the site are packaged into easy to buy bundles and most pieces are quite affordable. All artists have waived their right to ownership/copyright so the buyer can do with it what they wish.

“Welcome to Graphic Leftovers, a haven where professional designers and illustrators sell or donate their unused, unsold or unfairly rejected pieces of art online.
Browse through our ever-growing database of member-generated designs and illustrations. Find a cool logo for your next project or share some leftovers of your own.”

All in all this isn’t such a bad idea. All designers and artists, etc have their bad days, their off pieces, their rejections. Luckily there’s also always someone in the market to reassess their work and perhaps deem it viable. GraphicLeftovers gives designers a chance to market what they once thought was unmarketable, while buyers get work for discounted prices.

How is this site going to market itself? Will designers etc take to the site? Is the work submitted of high quality or is it only the rejected?
