    Received file from client, designers, and the vertical alignment on three lines of text is [to my mind] off. O should slightly overhang a vertical guide aligning the justification, right? Especially if the other two lines have hard-edges letters, as here.

    I tried pinching it over a half mill and it looks much better.

    Do i tell them? I mean, usually I would - but in 2020 I'm trying to be less of a twat.

    • You should tell them, they might appreciate your craftsmanship. It's usually a good thing to come off as that crazy designer guy that notices all the detailszarkonite
    • the others don't... gives the client confidence in your decisions.zarkonite
    • next thing you know they're running other people's work by you just to be sure and BOOM you're a designer director ;)zarkonite
