Messed up the kerning on a logo and accidentally created a trending effect.

I thought it was ruined, but social media went wild for it. Now I'm getting requests for similar designs, lol.

Actually this happens way more than people admit. The BEST ideas come from dumb mistakes we almost delete. That "flaw" gives it a human touch no perfect design can copy. Your kerning error and that coffee stain WORK because they feel real and tell a story. Polished stuff can look cold. Clients are paying for that story now, not just a clean file.

That Portland gallery sold my coffee-stained sketch for way more than the finished piece.
