    Folk who, when making a new presentation document, decide not to use the InDesign template pages I made. Pages with a decent enough grid that allows you to throw things about and still keep some order, balanced type sizes and weights, logical layer structure for different assets - vectors, images, text etc.

    Oh no. Your system of just vomiting everything onto a blank page and onto the same layer where nothing is aligned or in any kind of order beats mine hands-fucking-down, yeah? What's that? Looking at it is like having my eyes and brain powerwashed with boiling horse piss?

    Cool.

    • You would think that being able to line things up would be a vital prerequisite to being an architect. I must have been misinformed.face_melter
    • ^ i was just going to say that :)Gnash
    • shit drives me crazy too, especially when they fail to snap to guides that already ARE there!monospaced
    • How do people work in InDesign and manage to get things close to a guide, but not on it? Heathens!monospaced
    • Clients are surprisingly easyily pleased, but there's no excuse for not snapping things to guides. I even gave a fucking seminar on how to use the templates!face_melter
    • NEVER work with presentations/new business pitches. It will kill you. Everyone is at their worst behavior at all times.CyBrainX
    • Oh, these are presentations in the sense of page layouts with images/plans/text. More like documents really - documents that are presented at meetings.face_melter
