Misteaks Ruin Everything

No matter how beautiful your design is, errors can ruin it. Your perfect color palette, your gorgeous typography, your fabulous imagery … if you have even one mistake in your finished product, it will demand attention, invite criticism, and dump toxic rain all over your parade.

You can’t just depend on writers, editors, proofreaders, and other approvers. Oversights happen. If you want to make sure your design is perfect, you’re going to need to read the text and look for problems yourself.

Sara Rosinsky is a copywriter who’s been working with designers for decades. She will teach you how to:

• Avoid common typography troubles: flipping apostrophes, hyphen-itis, and the potentially deadly Smoosh Syndrome.
• Prevent spelling errors ranging from regretful to mortifying (with titillating examples).
• Confidently set headlines in true title case.
• Place punctuation where it belongs—from apostrophes to quotation marks to our good friend the ampersand.
• Gain a reputation as a lifesaving hero among your clients and coworkers.
