Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

I misspelled you're (your're) on some t-shirts for a trade show here in New Orleans. I'd love to say it's not completely my fault, but I don't think the owner of our company will see it that way. I printed the graphic, showed it to everyone in our office (including the owner) for proofing, and it went unnoticed. $1000 tshirt order we can't use, and the trade show is today. Fuck, we've had the tshirts in our possession for weeks.

I came in and replaced an entire marketing agency they had been using for years. I handle the organization, design, and traffic for multiple projects for each of 11 institutes throughout the southeast US. I just got bogged down with work and missed this crucial mistake. I'm so upset with myself right now...

and yes that logo is God awful, and to think some agency got paid tens of thousands of dollars for that

Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

It is never the job of the designer to proofread any materials before sent for production, so don't feel bad, even in small companies there should be someone else in charge of proofreading, you know after hours of looking at the same stuff is hard to notice stuff like this.

Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

If I were you're boss I'd be screwing right now, probably a little bit because you spelt it wrong, but more so that I read it and proofed it.

I write a bit of music now and then, after looping a bar for so long you do lose track of where its going. This sort of echoes what the labmonkey has said above.

He can't fire you for that.

Say it is satire on the abuse of the apostrophe.

Hope it works out for you

yeah i thought that - just roll your eyes and tell em they don't get it..

seriously, don't beat yourself up. Sounds like you're doing a better job than they are.

Hope you don't get the boot over it, that would be shite management.

Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

that logo for the olympics is awful, lisa simpson giving head is a bit of a reach though

as far as the spelling error, I'd feel like shit too, but as others have said, when more than one set of eyes are on it, someone should have picked up on it... the timing really blows though, sorry mate

Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

Oh no!
I really hope everything works out for you Clint. Like others have said multiple people proofed it for you, so hopefully they don't take their anger out solely on you. You are human, you make mistakes....hopefully they yell a bit, suck it up, and move on *hug*

Re: The fatal error of a graphic designer

Talked to the owner today, but she didn't say anything about it. I'm sure it's coming.... waiting on the marketing manager to get to work. I share an office with her. We'll see.... I'm certainly not going to bring it up
