    To the smaller agencies / clients of which I'm a 3rd party designer to your main client that think by handing off a PDF packed w/YOUR CLIENT's comments / discussions / non-prescriptive and even prescriptive obvious changes that it's then my job as your designer to INTERPRET THAT CRAP and 'choose' which text to update and which to ignore etc... take a hike w/that nonsense... flush that nonsense internally through your writers / legal and provide clear and concise text changes so I can go about designing... <3

    • At this point, I see it like if they’re going to let me interpret it then I’m going to own that shit. Legal loves this hahamonospaced
    • You are seen, brother <3
      I’m tempted to just ‘interpret’ and put legal thru hell... but that could also kill my contract haha

    • One of my PMs is a genius and can write and interpret strategically, and collaborate with me smartly. The other passes on garbage it’s so infuriating.monospaced
