I just got the proof in for the Yellow Pages Ad, and it's looks like a goddamn ransom note.

I sent the sales rep a full color .jpg showing *EXACTLY* what I would have been happy with, and the only thing that the ad I sent her and this one that is in common is that they both show a picture of pastries in the background.

They didn't use the font I SPECIFICALLY requested, they changed the text and put these tremendously ugly black bars on the top and bottom. All they needed to do was replicate what I sent and I would have been happy. I'm extremely UNHAPPY at this moment. And not only is this font *NOT* the one I specifically requested, but they used it in at least 8 different colors, sizes or boldings. It looks like a ransom note. And I'm probably going to have to look at it for a whole damned year.

SHIT. Idiots.
