    Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

    It's not your fault alone to bear. Seems other's eyes weren't working that day either. Good luck, I'm sure it will all be just fine.
    Awww...I didn't mean A holes, as in "A holes"...I meant it like, as in, my friends....

      This is not an attack to the OP but just a general comment. Regardless of who's fault it was, someone (or a group) is responsible and there comes accountability and consequences. Saying "it's not my job" esp coming from the person that created the material is trying to shun accountability and blaming someone else. In an IT world, that would be like a programmer not doing any sort of debugging and blaming a bug on QA entirely when a bug surfaces later. The right thing to do is to own up to it. Sorry, really, I just get so sick of all the finger pointing that's done in my company b/c everyone's all about CYA and no one takes responsibility for their actions.

      OP, don't take it personally and I feel bad for you man. I hope things will get sorted out for you without too much pain.

        I'm not the type of person to point fingers and I have completely owned up to the error. I created it. I've expressed this my employer today.

        By the way, I still have a job. They weren't quite as upset about it as I expected. It's an expensive mistake I've learned from, and will take extra steps with the screenprinter from here on out to make sure something like this will never happen again. I can breathe now.....

          What blows me is that the printing shop didn't catch it after the first $10 Tee was printed but the heroes went ahead and dumped $1K worth of Tees out.

            I disagree with this. If there are 10 chefs in the kitchen, all are to blame. Just cause someone created it and therein lies the mistake doesn't forgive the fact that passed through 6 sets of eyes. If that was the case, the OP should've been the one passing the design STRAIGHT to the printers, which WASN'T the case.

            Believe me bro, you wouldn't be posting as calmly as you do if really experienced being unfairly shafted for something that you were effin told to do, to begin with.

              They weren't so mad I guess cause they nearly sold out of the other shirts I created for Valentines at the show.

              Uppers and downers, uppers and downers......

                I called the lady who sent the design to the screenprinter and she was embarrassed neither she nor the screenprinter noticed. It was so plane as day once I saw it.

                On a good note, we may be able to salvage the shirts by printing over the flawed design. We'll see.

                                Could be worse. Stumbled upon some DJ's website earlier. How embarrassing must this be?
