Yeah, I could do that back during my freshman year of college. Now... not quite so easily.

Math... evil.

Okay, here's something I hate. I work in public relations as a graphic designer and we have a system for proofreading that is pretty intense to make sure that all publications that come from where I work meet a certain standard. Some departments still decide to outsource just because of how overloaded our department can sometimes become. Well, here's the part that I hate. The stuff that is outsourced obviously doesn't go through our proofreading circuit. I just looked at one piece that was produced and has already been sent out and I noticed that a photo on the cover of the piece was reversed. Not too big a deal if the guy in the photo wasn't wearing a sweatshirt with our name on it...backwards.

Sometimes things like that happen. But wasn't it a printing problem? I mean, how did the person doing the piece didn't notice it while working on it?

Not a printing problem. I found out it was in the initial design phase. The guy who designed it has used the photo before and tried to make it appear different by simply reversing it. This is usually a good way to do it, but not here.

It's a case of both being lazy and falling into a routine. When you proofread enough stuff, your eyes and brain gloss over a bit. Usually, you just look at text, so not noticing a photo can be explained that way... you are so worried about content, you don't look at design.

That's why I refuse to officially proofread my own work. Regardless of how small a job it was, I refuse to be the "sign off" proofreader on it.
