Typography Gone Wrong [example] by tohero(m): 8:46pm On Sep 30, 2018
Knowing there are people who major on typography is enough to give you a second thought when preparing that text on the graphic you're about to make.

Unnecessary line break could cause the reader to misinterprete what you intend to pass across just like kerning does in The rapist when you actually meant Therapist. Big blunder right? grin

Here's another example, pictured below. Why the line break in the hash tag? when the designer could have reduce the font size. If you are a Yoruba guy, the 3-letter word on the new line means Stupid which is enough to shift your cognitive sense from the real message.





Think of your readers when designing that piece!
