Hi Md. Raju,
Project Catalog is where you let clients come to you. When you create a project, it displays as a listing that clients can open to learn more. Clients find you by searching for the skills and services you offer.
When you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.
Thank you,
NOTICE:
We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

Naveel,
Overall, your Project Catalogs look and sound really good and you have plenty of samples of your work to showcase your skills. Here are a couple of suggestions:
Brand Style Guides:
For Project details, I would add some spacing for easier reading. I would also revise and combine the first two sentences to help the flow and for easier reading. For example:
I design attractive, modern brand style guides using a flat/minimalist approach to exhibit your unique brand. I accomplish this by focusing on your company’s personality and distinct features to fully develop your brand identity (i.e., logo design, brand guidelines, brand book, etc.)
My expertise : ... |
Pitch Decks:
I think the number of slides in your Advanced tier for Pitch Decks is high. Some in the marketing industry recommend between 10-15 slides for a pitch deck and never more than 20. I would stay in the 10-15 range.
Also, I think the delivery time for your Starter, Standard and Advanced pitch decks is too aggressive, but it really depends on your skill level and the service you are offering. I am not sure of your experience with pitch decks (i.e., design only or design and strategy building) so I do not want to sound insulting. If you only do pitch deck designs (i.e., theme, layout, etc.), then I think you only need to retrieve pertinent information from the client and design a cool-looking deck, which could possibly be done in 2-3 days. However, if you are supporting your client's pitch to VCs (i.e., industry analysis, financial forecasting, analysis/reviews, etc.) it often takes several days of interacting with your client to understand and build their approach. Again, I do not want to sound insulting because you probably already know this.
Minimalist Logos:
For Project details, I would add some spacing for easier reading. I would also revise it a little by removing repeated words and focusing more on the potential client. For example:
I am a minimalist logo designer with a modern and creative approach to my work. I work closely with my clients to create unique, simple logos that are both memorable and versatile. My goal is to take your idea, your brand, or your business and create an eye-catching, timeless minimalist logo that you are 100% satisfied with.

Product Label Design/Packaging:
This one looks fine to me.

I have already submitted two projects on Upwork on February 17th and 23rd respectively.
I have not received any mail from upwork whether to do any correction
till now my project is not approved
What do I do now?
Feb 28, 2023 09:56:52 AM by Louisa J
Hello, if you don't hear from your client within 14 days, the money in escrow will automatically be paid to you.
It happens, I've been here 7 years and some clients just vanish after you hand in the work. It's very bizarre, but it happens.
Wait patiently. 😁

Hi Upwork Community Members,
I submitted my project catalog on Feb 16, 2023, for review. According to your terms & conditions, it usually takes up to 5 days to review. But I have been waiting for the last 14 days and it is still pending review. Could you let me know how much time this review process takes?
Thanks & Regards,
Salman Wahab

Hello, My Projects status is still pending, it has been almost 5 days since I applied on 24-02-2023. How much time will it take to approve? Is it available for the clients? How the client came to know that this Project catalog is published or available? How can he search? Thanks,
Zarar I.

I highly suggest submitting a proposal many as you can and not relying on one proposal. If ever the client messages you on your proposal kindly reply as soon as possible and then provide the solution.
Mar 1, 2023 05:26:05 AM by Abraham P
Yes, same happening here, my project and consultation have been pending more than 5 days. It might be worth emailing support (opens gmail) , as when I did this regards a testimonial that was pending for ages, it was verified within an hour.
