hi, I'm working for a print design company and they are giving me a hard time about my typography. basically, they don't like my ragging of the paragraphs.
I've corrected them, but not sure if they are good, can you please check and let me know.

Hey,
The first one is ok, but the "studs, fiber and export" ones could do with some work.
Also, in the fiber one, you are using "M" Dashes, they should be "N" dashes ((IP(J not (IQ(J) (smaller) "M" dashes are usualy only used to seperate dates or numbers.

What do you mean by ragging..i guess thats a type term i dont know about.
Is it the left alignment of the paragraph of text.
or...
are does the client have issues with the the "raggy" edges of the type itself..i.e. thinks it's not crisp enough?

old scholl typography rule. always let the punctuation sit outside the right edge of the words...
try stretching the "family has been" line out some to reach the edge with the breeding line. keep the comma outside of that line though... try to pull that line in like .1px (your using flash to kern right?)
