    My boss has now decided – after a 40 year career as a designer – that, after looking at my Annual Report layout, that having a wider margin in the gutter than the fore-edge is wrong. It looks like a mistake. Despite my assurances that I had always done this, despite me reaching for my design text books, I have been doing it wrong for 15 years!

    • Well did it look wrong to you?ismith
    • No. That’s why I did it.MrOneHundred
    • Well I mean plenty of people do things instinctually but then look back and decide otherwise... not the case I guessismith
    • The point is, it’s not like I set half the page back-to-front or something like that...MrOneHundred
    • ...it’s the arbitrary nature of the complaint – like what he really wanted to do was complain and that was just a handy excuse.MrOneHundred
