If you use Photoshop to create designs, here’s a quick tip—spell check! It’s a lot easier than you might think and it could save you some headache down the road.
There are two ways I can think of to ensure you have correct copy:
- Type your text in a word processor such as Word and once you’re sure that spelling and grammar are correct, paste the text into Photoshop and style as needed.
- Or type the copy directly into Photoshop (generally works best if you don’t have a lot of text) and go to the Edit menu and select Check Spelling…
I have known people to get into major issues in terms of this seemingly simple oversight. Years ago, a friend had a typo in some invitations he had made for a client and of course it wasn’t noticed until the customer came into the store to pickup his final product. Granted the client had approved the artwork by signing a proof, I’m sure you can imagine the turmoil when he came to pickup his product.
The takeaway: Save yourself and your clients the headache and dignity by simply spell checking your graphic designs!
