The Avengers Kree-Skrull War Trade Paperback


Do you ever buy a book, maybe a graphic novel, hard cover/trade paperback and question the graphic design vs printing results?



For example this trade paperback of Avengers Kree-Skrull War (published in 2000) has an obvious concern regarding this. If you have a copy take a look at the first inside page the bottom publisher details text. 

It’s not legible.



Barely legible, don't you think?


Who do you blame? The designer? The editor? The printer? If one doesn’t flag the concern from one professional to the next the results are proof, in this case both a design and printers error. Makes one wonder who dropped the ball?

It's just human error. At the end of the day it's meaningless. Depending on who you are this may or may not mean anything to you, but if you have a graphic design eye this may be one of those situations that make you go......hmmmmm.

Hmmm?
