A design blunder

K, be honest. How many of you were secretly cringing, wondering if it was a page you designed before you clicked on this thread?

That said, YIKES! How do you not catch that?

 

I thought this thread was going to be about the Sun-Sentinel redesign.

Whoever put the barbecue photo above that story was busy and just trying to get ahead. Or maybe a leg up.

 

Or maybe they were hungry.

 

The Warren Funeral Home weekly special.

Free All-You-Can Eat Barbeque Buffet with every coffin purchase.

Limit one per household.

 

Warren Funeral Home: "You buy the box, we'll fill it up for the ride home. After that it's up to you."

 

Right idea, wrong state....

 

holy shee-ite....although I guess if you're getting remains, barbecued is the best way!

 

Sad part, they are remains of copy editors, page designers and clerks.

 

BBQ ribs are people!

 

I can't believe that went to print. I gotta think the person who signed off on it liked the humor of it. Maybe it was someone's planned last day at the paper?

 

It happens more often than it should, though not usually this obvious.

Folks at some newspapers do not think about what images say. It's sad.

Editing and design need to treat photographs as though they are more than just colored or gray boxes.

 

That's the ugliest looking bbq I've ever seen, BTW.

Dead people would probably be tastier.
