First Preflight then PDF
I love analogies and here is one that was a perfect fit for FlightCheck Professional or preflighting in the generic:
RT @OphieLuStudios @aj_mitchell: Oops…New highway ramp too steep. To be torn down and rebuilt at Design firm’s expense. http://bit.ly/8kstZd
Construction or laying out roads is no different than designing a new newspaper or yearbook publishing layout in Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress or Microsoft Publisher. Yes, perhaps the costs and processes are different, but I would guess the percentage in terms of money is similar. Re-working costs time and money. First preflight, then PDF. The original article says:
“The brand-new never-opened Fairfax Road offramp of westbound Highway 178 must be demolished and rebuilt because of a design flaw, the Bakersfield public works department confirmed Monday.”

“Design flaw.” Graphic designers have had it pretty good with printers really. Did you notice in the article that the “design firm” had to pay the nearly 1 million dollar fee to re-do it all? A good prepress department is worth it’s weight in gold really. (And gold is expensive these days!)
What is your favorite preflight analogy?
Mine is with regards to auto-racing, believe it or not; first preflight, then your PitStop will go smoothly!
