- Comments Off on When I learned of the Best Actress/Best Picture cards mix-up and then saw the screenshot of the card, I immediately felt sorry for Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Like Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe goof, this is something that could’ve been prevented with good design. All the money spent on these lavish events, yet they can’t hire a competent graphic designer. Mind-boggling. Here, I demonstrate how better design could have saved the night. The first image above is their original design. The second image is my quick take on a more clear and fool-proof design. I have other issues with their font choices, but for this demonstration, I’m using the exact same fonts to show that sizing and placement alone make a big difference. – John Kwon | “THE OSCARS®” trade/service mark © The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences®
