Sometimes It Takes a While to Understand

While I was at the doctors office earlier this week, I decided to read an article in a magazine. It had to do with carbs, and since I love carbs so much,  I wanted to know how to keep away from the bad carbs while sticking with the good ones. Please take a look at the article below:

 

I was able to read the title page without a problem, but when I got to the end, I wanted to continue reading right under the green bar in the left column. I quickly realized that was wrong when the words no longer made sense, and began reading the left column above the green bar. As I approached the bar, I automatically started reading the right column above the green bar.

Not only did the bar hinder me from reading the article, I actually put the magazine down and stopped trying because the design was so poorly considered before publishing. I know that we sometimes make spreads that we just LOVE, but this is a true example of killing your babies. The chalk board idea is cute, but someone loved it a bit too much, and some editor didn't actually take the time to read through it.

Lesson learned, I will NEVER create a spread like this!
