A client just commented that the black text on the white background in their brochure was "difficult to read." I honestly am speechless. #DesignerProblems #IsItFridayYet

perhaps it wasn't a visual issue so much as they couldn't bear to read it, given its message.

@cobie a charitable take! haha -- but they actually did mean that they felt the text wasn't legible enough. it's more of an aging eyesight issue than anything else, apparently. i told her i couldn't make the text any darker, but that i could make it bigger if they were willing to cut some of their content.

@Ultramundane @cobie oooo, I’d love that, but digital printers can’t. If it was an offset press and the client had the money, I’d be all over that, lol.
