The choice of Helvetica Ultra Light for the 'BEAN MAN' spread is one I wouldn't have made. While the face is attractive - sophisticated - as a graphic designer who also was a print production manager, I see impending disaster during a press run. Using such a light type allows no room for run-of-press mis-registration problems.
Yup. I've been there. Stared at a poster for so long that I didn't notice it said Septmember and not September. So, to the designer which designed the Flash banner for the article on the homepage, the headline says "How to Cure Typhocondria", not "How to Cure Typocondria". Heads up.

Re "Typo"
That would be funny if it weren't so sad. Thanks for the correction!
