    I work on a magazine, an issue every two months. The last issue I worked on I got this comment sent to me by the editor from a reader:

    Print should be uncomproimisingly black on white.
    So, PLEASE knock some common sense into your 'design' people!

    I tried to say 'Fuck off you pile of shitebags' as politely as I could.

    • haha jnr. Nah, what I'd done was revolutionary, fucking seat of the pants design. I put white text... on a black background.ian
    • ... er, yes. But it was the design I'd worked on, the client themselves really liked the spread, just one lone voice crying out in the dark.ian
