It's scary out there.

I submitted a work in ad design at the Art Institute of Seattle, and it was great work. Resembled a National Geographic cover and was advertising Rapidographs. The ship/sea/sky/cliffs illustration was stippled using a Rapidograph. I put the header in "National Rapidograpic", having concentrated on comping the type perfectly, I misspelled my header. The instructor gave me an F on the grounds that if I did that with a client, I would lose a commission. I got the grade raised to what I deserved on the grounds that Rapidographic is not a word anyway, but the instructor was right. I would like to submit an entry, but am too busy making money. Been in the graphic design industry since 1988. Nice Tmas, but the word is queue. I submitted a work in ad design at the Art Institute of Seattle, and it was great work.
