This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

no this is a managerial decision. close is a simple concept (like 'bigly money') that the managerial class can understand. so they put it close

As someone who's had to design graphics with a manager backseat driving, yes.

Are you sure you want 300 characters on a business card? It wont be legible. Yes, I know it looks big on the screen, it's called zo... oh okay. And a boat in the background? But it's for an event without boats. Yep. Okay. It represents freedom and people will understand? There's your boat.

A month later someone posts a worst business card top ten list for likes and everyone blames the designer.

Yeah I think they just didn't want their brand name next to the rotten avocado.

They could place the avocado in the middle, so that it is close to both while still being "correct"

Or halves of avocado on each side
