Man, that hits home. Got the same talk about a year ago and it stung for a bit too, but the guy was right. My supers only ever flipped to the weather and manpower part anyway, so I started writing it like a cop report: date, weather, crew, work done, delays, done. My first RFI fight after that went from three weeks of back and forth to a two day email chain because the log actually pointed at the right day and the right wall. Paragraphs feel like you're covering your butt but they mostly just bury the stuff that saves you later.

This is the same thing that happens with menus at restaurants, especially the ones trying to look fancy with gray on cream or gold on beige. Looks awesome on the designer's screen in a bright office, then you sit down in a dim booth and you're holding the thing up like a phone trying to get a signal. People who test stuff on a backlit monitor always forget that paper doesn't glow at you. Your aunt basically did the only real test that matters, which is can a normal person read this in a normal room. I've started just going darker than feels right on anything meant to be read, because you can always back off a little but you can't fix fog after it's printed.
