Depuis quelques années, les publicités dans le métro couvrent non seulement les espaces publicitaires, mais aussi les murs. Ces annonces sortaient de leurs cadres sur le mur et sur le sol. On pouvait particulièrement remarquer celles de Bell aux métro Berri-UQAM, McGill et Jean-Talon. Nul doute que le coût d’une telle initiative est sûrement très élevé.

You have a point and shoot camera and you can’t capture a wide or tall view. You have an SLR and you can’t afford that lens that will allow you to get a killer 180o view. It’s not a problem. You won’t be able to do it in one shot, but at least, you will be able to do it with this easy to use feature in Photoshop called Photomerge.

It’s very bad news when a brochure finds itself printed with something missing. That is one of the reasons why I prefer making websites so much, because the time to add or change simple things like text is about the same as the it takes to open and close the proper softwares.
The mistake
In the case of brochures, a missing text is a bad thing. But when the absence of a legal text can put the brochure off the market, it’s a pain in the ass. You’re sure that the law will tell you to retrieve all brochures from the stands and you would have printed thousands of them for nothing wasting a few tens of thousands of dollars.
The blame
When something like this happens, or any kind of mistakes for that matter, placing blame is the worst, most useless and most unproductive thing ever. The only purpose of blame is to save trouble for one or multiple parties and it puts a big fat black mark on the relationship of every party involved. So placing blame is a non-step that doesn’t lead anywhere good. Sure, investigations can be made, but that’s should be for the sole purpose that the mistake should not be made again.
The solution
The productive way of dealing with mistakes and the step that is actually important is finding a solution. Personnally, I am glad that it was a legal text that was missing rather than anything else, because legally, you can pretty much put that anywhere in the brochure as long as it’s somewhere and of proper size according to the law.
