The response to our typographic pledge poster has been great so far. But not all of them have been positive. It’s been entertaining. This one cracks me up on a few levels:

    Clearly this person is not a true designer. Not using those fonts definitely fall under what I like to call the “Design Commandments” along with:
    - thou shalt not photocopy
    - thou shalt save your work often
    - thou shalt tell your client to proof their copy BEFORE submitting it to be designed
    - thou shalt design creatively within the scope of work you have been given or thou will be fired (this one students really need to learn)
    - thou shalt learn to follow directions fully
    - thou shalt only give the best designs to the client or the client will pick the worst of the bunch. every time.
    etc

    re: first commandment
    that one came about after clients photocopied our work instead of printing it. argh.

    should have clarified that one.
