Dorin COJOCARIU (USA) - Postage Stamp from Zazzle.com

My new design, finally approved today, after being initially rejected because I had written in it the words "with or without the rules of FIP CfM".
No abbreviations are allowed, but I had explained in the product description screen that:
FIP = International Philatelic Federation
CfM = Commission for Maximaphily.

The Zazzle Content Review Team also said:
"Please feel free to resubmit your design. Also, please remove the phrase "with or without the rules of FIP CfM", as it may be construed as protesting a set of rules."


OK...so I changed "with or without the rules of FIP CfM" with "traditional or non-traditional".


Because I define non-traditional not as anti-traditional, but as freestyle. 
You are free to follow, or not, any rule, including those of the "traditional school of maximaphily".
There!
Everybody's happy now!

I added the above text here, for the search engines - they cannot grasp the text from the image, I guess.

I also had to answer to Zazzle that the person in the photo is me, that I own the photo, and that I am not a celebrity :) .

In my opinion, "world-renowned" (a rather quantitative statement) only means that there are friends, partners and strangers here and there, around the world, who have interacted with me in a philatelic sense. :)

I did not categorize myself as "world-class" - that's a qualitative statement.

See how much text I was able to squeeze into a stamp?

Such a design involved a few tips and tricks that I learned by myself at Zazzle.
