I'm a freelance graphic designer who started out as a copywriter you see, and while I like the artistic end even more than writing, bad copy can ruin a good campaign or cripple a great one. One of the biggest pet peeves I have is bad grammar and/or punctuation in any printed matter, for whatever reason (unless you're demonstrating a good 'bad example'). This, in my humble opinion, makes the client look worse than stupid and condescending, makes the copywriter look like an idiot, makes the proofreader look uneducated and/or soon-to-be-unemployed, and the agency/artist the 'stupid glue' that ruined the whole campaign. I grant you that as a degreed and experienced copywriter and graphic artist I may not be able to drum up a lot of work on my own here in Oklahoma (at least enough to bring in a good return on my time invested), but anyone who hires ME (or anyone like me) will love the attention to detail I bring to the table. Helping one's client look as smart (or smarter) than they want to show you they are is a HUGE selling point, and one I like to capitalize on. Hey, my rates are reasonable, my mind is open and my ad copy isn't anywhere NEARLY as long as my blog entries!!! I can’t agree vehemently enough with the topic of this article.

Realized that the simplest combination of copy and visuals can often be the most effective. That was quite thought provoking.
