How egregious of a design sin is a business card with a portrait image on one side and landscape text on the reverse? -- nm - psilotum Apr 6, 21:42 7

    - how do you catch that benjamin button disease? - moles Apr 6, 21:28 3
      - But do you get to carry the wisdom with you? I mean, if you did and you hit baby stage, wouldn't you be latching on to every boobie in sight? -- nm - Trish Apr 6, 22:03 2
