Content is king! (And did you make some typos?)

As designers, sometimes we get caught up in making everything look great, and we forget to check our work closely. This leads to lots of errors - typos, mis-spellings, styling issues, etc.

So we must proofread. How do we do that? Here are a few tips:

1. Read it out loud and also silently.
2. Read it backwards to focus on the spelling of words.
3. Read it upside down.
4. Use a spell checker and grammar checker as a first screening, but don't depend on them.
5. Have others read it.
6. Read it slowly.

When you find an error, you can mark it up using standard Proofreader's Marks! See a handy list below:
