Typographic Sins

Thats a beautiful poster and an awesome list. I work with and have worked with many attorneys who all insist on two spaces before the start of a sentence and using justified body copy when sending me copy to lay out. A one or two sheet flier isnt so bad but a 50 page legislative review can be a nightmare. I have broken nearly all of them of this habit and will be sending this poster to those I have yet to break.

It was great seeing the sin of not using smart quotes and punctuation because it reminds me of the Orioles and their use of the upside down and backwards apostrophe in their logo. Kudos to the designer for breaking the rules.
