my buddys and i have a band with a few shows coming up. we ordered some posters and a bunch of almost postcard things. we pre payed the company we found online and gave them all the art that we all made together. we get it all back first yestreday morning which when it was supposed to be ready in the afternoon. Thats so greet to get them early and start passing around. well the dumb idiots put live instead of Live which is not we payed for at all. they refuse to refund the money and even give a disount.
heres a fucking example of your stupidity- Misfits live or misfits Live. which one says they breath and which says their playing tonight? —fed up and broke
This article appears in Aug 28 – Sep 3, 2014.
Anyone who does professional graphic design (as I did for most of my work career) should have given you a final proof for you to check for errors and to sign your approval to proceed – are you telling us this wasn’t done?
For example, this happened early in my career with a packaging company – I was designing a plastic bag logo that had a lobster on it. When I sent the proof to the customer for approval, he wrote on it: ‘Extend the testicles’ – he meant: ‘Extend the tenticles’ – I was sooooo tempted to send him back the proof showing the lobster with huge, hairy nutsacks.
Exactly, TT. I have never had a print job done where I was not required to sign off pre-print.
So maybe OB missed the error, which would be why there is no refund or reprint being offered.
OB, in future, have at least 3 other people review – more sets if eyes means less costly mistakes.
Should have read: Tentacles – me bad.
Right on, Gidget.
buddys vs. buddies
payed vs. paid
yestreday vs. yesterday
Thats vs. That’s
greet vs. great(?)
disount vs. discount
breath vs. breathe
their vs. they’re
plus enough punctuation mistakes to give my Grade 6 teacher a walloping dose of the vapours.
TT, I don’t think that Dimebag Darrell here could proof-read a juicebox.
Let me guess, OP. Your next Bitch will be to your set designer for building a replica of Stonehenge that could be trod upon by a dwarf. All because YOU don’t know the difference between ‘ and “.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO! ROCKNROLL! ILOVE MUSIC!
There is no error here. Capitalization does not change the meaning of “live”, pronunciation and context does.
“payed vs. paid”
Haha, I love learning new stuff. That reminds me of when I found out pickles are actually just miniature cucumbers.

OB — you are the bane of every graphic designer:

Jesus h christ – you have the literacy skills of a first grader and you’ve got your panties in a twist over Live vs live?
Haha
Like Gidget and TT said: any credible print org will provide a proof. If they didn’t, you were probably using a crappy outfit.
Lemmie guess: they were cheap, right?
I guess you’ll know better next time. And honestly, Live or live, I don’t think either will make or break your show, bud. Hope you get lots of people out. Being a musician in the city can be rough.
Next time shop local and you can talk face-to-face. Get a proof, and get someone besides you to proof it.
“Misfits live or misfits Live. which one says they breath and which says their playing tonight?”
The first one says The Misfits are playing live. The second indicates that a general collection of random misfits in society are going to play live.
but kudos to OB — got some free advertising. I won’t go see them though; rock stars that do not understand grammar are just the worst.
Ummmmmm. Okee then.
Yes, you and yer buddys shore knowd howe two right a add. Sea the miss take?
Finishing high school while knowing how to spell, that’s the ticket!
Yours truly.
Stupid things happen to stupid people. First of all, if you’re playing covers of misfits songs, don’t use their actual name! Second, you trusted a random company you knew nothing about. Third, go back to grade 6 you fucking donkey.
and the music(ha) probly sucked anyway.
Oooh the misfits!

First of all, did YOU (and several other people) proofread the files you provided before you contracted that company to do the work?
Did THEY provide a proof for you to read through before they did the whole batch?
Did you sign any kind of approval slip to let them know it was OK to print the full run?
If not, why would you do business with an obviously amateur outfit when there are plenty of professional graphic designers and printers right here in Halifax?
Shop local!
Another one of mine. What a difference not putting my name at the bottom makes, lol.
