This past Monday, we had the pleasure of seeing Graphic Design, Referenced printed in full color and as spreads for the first time — try ponying up the cash to print 200 tabloid sheets, yikes — with the arrival of the printer’s proofs. At this point we didn’t go over any text, what done is done, and concentrated on layout and image color. It always amazes how things mysteriously “drop” from file to proof and I don’t mean that to be a swipe against printers, but it always happens, something goes missing. In this case we caught a few images and a couple of bad image-box crops that we failed to catch earlier. All in all the proofs looked great and hopefully we didn’t let anything too embarrassing slip by. Below are some less than stellar photographs of the proofs.

Not so stellar photos? Looks okay to me. A real testament to your efforts!
