It’s been an Earth-shaking kind of day today in Southern California. Just before noon PT we had a magnitude 5.4 quake hit the Los Angeles area. Amazingly, I was reading updates and personal experiences from people on Twitter way before I saw any details on major news outlets. The funniest Tweet had to be from MissRFTC: “I am totally serious. My Ob/Gyn was IN my vagina and an earthquake started rattling the room!” You can’t make this stuff up…

Hey Scott, you asked about mastheads and the print world. I don’t work for a newspaper, but I work for a magazine publisher. When it comes to something like the names of our magazines, we generally have them placed and don’t mess with them.
Depending on what I am doing I might have the copy on a separate locked layer.
Of course if you are changing text a lot that might not happen. But it makes me wonder if they don’t at least run spell check or have the editors give it one last look before going to press.

Scott –
About the mastheads, I do work for the a small weekly newspaper as a graphic designer. We usually copy & paste the masthead from the last paper. I will change the color, but I generally will not retype anything. I don’t see how this could have happened.
